FASCINATING INTERVIEWS BY KELLY LEONARD, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, INSIGHTS & APPLIED IMPROVISATION AT SECOND CITY WORKS

There is a growing amount of evidence that shows how our own expertise can become a trap. We become accustomed to our success and patterns and this leaves us, sometimes, unprepared for change. There is also evidence that when you expose yourself to new thinking, new ideas and new perspectives, you are making yourself more change-ready.

These interviews will give you some unique and unusual insights across a variety of fields and experiences. A mixture of academics, executives, artists and thought leaders whose combined wisdom will give you some practical information that you can parlay into your own working lives. Enjoy!

From Yes And to Thank You Because: How Improvisation and Behavioral Science Make Work Better
Kelly Leonard builds off the improvisation-based principles from his bestselling book “Yes, And,” to discuss a new initiative he co-leads with the Center for Decision Research at the Booth School of Business at The University of Chicago. The Second Science Project looks at behavioral science through the lens of improvisation. Kelly will share insights that have come from this partnership and talk about the key areas where evidence-based science meets improvisational pedagogy. He’ll also toss in a few stories of some of the famous figures he’s worked with in his 30-year career at The Second City.
 
  • You will learn specific improv exercises you can use at work or at home to help foster creativity and better communication.
  • Kelly will take you through the process and outcomes from some of the work done in The Second Science Project lab.
  • You will get a backstage pass to hear stories about the creative practices of some of the alumni Kelly has worked with, such as: Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert and Keegan-Michael Key.
  • Kelly will also talk about some of the cutting-edge work that Second City is doing in bringing improvisational practices to caregivers and communities - which connects to recent research that suggests that businesses need to embrace a culture of care if they are going to innovate and have employees who are change-ready.
