Bringing Improv into everyday life
This is a business book that's readable, useful and funny!
What a nice change. Joe Keefe offers you ways to bring some humor and life to your business meetings --and get better results to boot. I started using some of Joe's improv exercises to start our weekly meeting. The president of the organization complimented me for bringing energy and excitement to the meetings. (In truth, it wasn't me it was the improvs!) I love Joe's rule: Listen, agree, add and accept. We do some of the games at home as well. The kids love performing and it is helping them to exercise their imaginations and think quickly on their feet. This is a great book to help you think about the importance of having humor in all aspects of your life and it offers sound advice on how to get it.

Great in meetings
I received this book as a gift and was immediately surprised at how useful it was in meetings and other informal settings.
I thought it was a gimmick until I tried some of the tehniques used in improvisation - boy was I surprised!
Very useful indeed, thanks Mr. Keefe. Similar Products
