Those of an age like me will remember Whose Line is it anyway on Channel 4 in the daytime during the school holidays – I’ve watched a few nineties editions, and I can’t believe it was deemed suitable for children! I still love to watch the American version which seems to still be going. There are two concepts from improv I’ve built into my daily life thanks to people like Simon Thomson, lara A king, Viv Groskop and Pippa Evans: 1. “Yes, and” – take the offer, and build. Sometimes this morphs into a explanation of what I'm taking, “what I really like about that idea is…” which creates optimism and a space to grow understanding. 2. “Trust that you will get to the end of the sentence” which has really helped my speaking and presenting. In another hat-tip to Bruce Daisley and his excellent podcast, he discusses the nature and business related skills of improv with Kelly Leonard of Second City, the Chicago based improvisational comedy enterprise. Kelly describes the difference between improv and stand-up comedy: ⭐ Stand-up: where someone brings you into their world and tells you stories, which take you through a range of emotions and hopefully surprise you and make you laugh, is about *giving* your perspective to the audience. ⭐ Improv: where the audience offers a suggestion and then the improvising team take that and play, bouncing off each other, is *taking* perspective from the audience. When you’re meeting your team or your clients today, think about whether this is a perspective *giving*, or a perspective *taking* conversation. Have you honed your lines and practiced, know the beginning, middle and end of your story? Are you holding court, with occasional questions from the “crowd?” You're *giving* your perspective here. Which, if someone has asked you, is fine, but it's not always what is needed. And easy to slip into if you're wise, experienced, and possibly amongst the most senior people in the room. Or are you *taking* perspective: paying close attention to what the people around you are saying, listening to the very end of their sentences, and building on what they tell you? Is it a collaboration, a sounding board, or giving them freedom to download? Sometimes, you’ll flip between these during the same conversation – but having a language to describe the mode you’re using makes it easier to be aware of when you need to bring a different one. Says Kelly: Our workplace future needs “human skills, people knowing how to talk to each other, and getting things done. It’s not about code, it’s about creativity and connection. Let the AI do [the code] stuff.” I couldn't agree more.

I used to be in Youth Theatre when I was younger (no, I never played a tree) , but at some point I graduated from Youth Theatre to Corporate Drama Llama 🎭 . I know we dont like to think of ourselves as a drama llamas at work, but sometimes we've got to get real. We do Youth Theatre level drama either with other people or in our minds A LOT. Drama Kings (not getting caught up in that sexist slant on drama, thank you) listen to this podcast episode. In The Drama Triangle (Karpman), we explain how you could be playing one of three roles; "victim," "persecutor" or "rescuer" at work. And spoiler alert, none of them are great outside of Youth Theatre. In this episode I share mine, and my client's examples of our roles within drama triangles and share three steps you can take if you find yourself embroiled in drama at work. Listen in for drama to calmer... 🕊 #dramaking #dramallama #dramatriange #confidencecoach #professionaldevelopment

"Let's make one thing perfectly clear: Learning how to sell a product is the same thing as learning how to sell a joke. You gotta go onstage and present the package". - Comedian George Wallace on an episode of Marc Maron's WTF podcast. George started in the 70s. He and Jerry Seinfeld came up together, were roommates and are fantastic friends to this day. Saw him kill a warmup set at Montreal's Just for Laughs festival several years ago. On this podcast ep, Wallace talked about how he sold rags (literal rags) and advertising on public transit before he broke into stand-up, and how sales helped his ability to succeed in showbiz. George does two things really well in stand-up, which I know served him well in sales. 1) He's extremely likeable. 2) He crafts SHORT jokes. Setup...punchline. The best jokes get to it FAST - like your outreach or demo needs to. Ditch the windup about how awesome your company is. They don't care. Highlight challenges you eliminate, show you get how they're impacted, and how they're being prevented from reaching Utopia. Email or voicemail too long? Axe out all unnecessary: - details - words - syllables. Trim the fat. If a word or syllable adds nothing to what you're saying - remove it. Eliminate your jargon. Say it differently. Paraphrase. See what I did there? Watch old-timey comedy for examples. Marc and George at:
