VIEWS ARE MY OWN

OPINIONS ON THIS PAGE ARE MY PERSONAL VIEWS

Shakespeare said "All the world's a stage . . ." I agree! I believe that life is one big improvisation! I love helping leaders explore the way art and creativity can improve life and intersect with the business/non-profit world! What do you want to learn today? What do you want to create? Let's do a scene!

Surprise!

In improvisation, sometimes the element of SURPRISE -or doing the unexpected- can add flavor to the scene. It also moves improvisers beyond the typical into the atypical. It takes practice, and the beginning improviser can be taken aback if, say, someone begins fishing in the dentist's office fish tank in a scene. But, if they "yes, and . . . " and just go with the absurdity, it becomes delightful.

In life, the element of SURPRISE can bring the same delight as an unexpected twist in a scene. And, with unexpected results. THIS man (video below) founded a debt collection agency that HELPS people get out of debt and his experiment has a 200% success rate.

How can you add the element of surprise to your life or business?
What would you like to flip upside down and change, to the delight of others?
Is there something that is ALWAYS done a certain way that you can imagine doing ANOTHER way?
