How Improv Comedy Can Help You Be a Better, More Engaging and Funnier Speaker with Avish Parashar


Listen Later

Improv is the art of saying, “Yes, and …" but when it comes to even thinking about it, so many of us say, “No way!” And that’s unfortunate because no matter how well you plan, things will go wrong, surprises will arise, and the universe will throw you a curveball. Consequently, your success — and sanity — are directly related to how you respond to these challenges.

 

In this episode, Avish Parashar shows you how you can add more creativity and humor to your talks, ultimately helping you bring audience engagement to new heights, and of course, keeping you nimble so you can face the inevitable surprises that arise when presenting.

- Taking people on an emotional journey

- How to add emotion when speaking about non-emotion content

- How being vulnerable helps you connect with your audience
