Ever wonder the key to success in today's ever-changing world? Of course, you could look at some of the most successful business leaders of today, but what worked for them might not work for you. Instead, looking to principles of improvisation could be your key to success! While it might sound crazy at first, let's take a closer look. What makes for a successful improv scene?

They must also be creative, productive, and think on the spot to solve a problem. Now can you see how these traits can make for a successful business? Executives at The Second City, the company that has trained popular actors including John Belushi and Tina Fey, are now revealing their top techniques and insights for using improvisation strategies in business. Learn the importance of answering questions with "Yes, And," how building a team hinders collaboration, and why listening is one of the most important skills in today's business world.
