Description
The use of improvisation as a training tool provides better listening, better focus, and better understanding. And it's a whole lot of fun. Often, however, it gets a bad rap because people think of it as something just for the stage. How many times have facilitated a training session and searched for experiential learning that sticks? Improv is that tool.
