ONE WORD SUGGESTION

In improv terms, is essentially “yes, anding” your face. Accepting the reality and building on it, working with what you have to make something even better.

Improv teaches you to take risks. Trying new things on a pizza, the stakes are low. But on the job, we tend not to take risks at all because if things go wrong, we get burned.

You can always tell when you see or meet someone who is truly authentic and living comfortably and openly with who they are. And usually, they’re our most favourite people to be around.

Get what you want, not by trying to be bossy, funny or cool, but by doing what’s necessary to make your whole group look good instead of just worrying about yourself.

Ambiguity is not something to be feared but a given… We never have complete and perfect information. The best way to succeed in life is to revel in ambiguity.

Our ability to observe people and situations and translate those observations into useful opportunities for personal growth and development is wonderful.

People have become so preoccupied with themselves and their phones they’re not only becoming less mindful, they’re becoming dangerously mindless.

If people keep telling you that you have a tail, sooner or later, you’re gonna have to turn around and take a look.

For those of you out there who feel like a lack of courage is holding you back from living the truly good days you wish for, I’m here to tell you, fear is an illusion.

People who say “no” live in the comfort and security of their own world. People who say “yes” go on to live lives filled with glorious adventure.

I was going to write this suggestion off as inappropriate and off-topic, but the reality is all of us probably know or work with at least one person who is, in fact, an asshole.

We’ve all probably experienced panic at some stage in our life. And the first thing to do if you start to panic – in any situation – is to just breathe.

Sometimes we get caught up in the trappings of success only to realise later in life that the things we thought would make us feel successful don’t define it for us at all.
