Jack Hourigan and Ellen Morita of Sway Partners discuss how improvisation can help you manage through the Covid Crisis

I invited Jack Hourigan and Ellen Morita of Sway partners to join me for this episode because I knew they'd have some importance guidance for leaders and employees navigating the Covid Crisis.

Faced with an unprecedented situation, with no clear end in sight we are all confronting new challenges in an environment of uncertainty.  Who doesn't need to improvise right now?

But improv doesn't just help with managing work and building resiliency.  It offers the opportunity to focus on the moment, build stronger relationships and connections and become more innovative.  Among the things you'll learn are:

1. The power of "yes and"
2. Play the scene you are in
3. There are no mistakes only opportunities
4. How to overcome fear
5. Building trust
6. Thinking of your team as an ensemble where everyone has each others' backs
