"Build Effective Business Teams: Top 7 ways managers can use humor, laughter, and improv to increase team effectiveness"
 
Summary of the book...
Life is Improv! Putting the FUN back in business!
Being a part of an organization can be exciting. It’s a place to share ideas, collaborate and feel as though you are making a difference. And, sometimes it can be stressful. Personality conflicts, communication break down and even remote working can contribute to stress in the workplace. As the Humor, Laughter, and Improv Coach, I teach corporate teams to use improv to improve creativity, communication, team building, and innovation with their clients and within their organizations. Improv skills lay the foundation for helping stressed out teams reconnect, communicate, be more productive, and adapt to change.
In the work I have done with corporations, associations, and organizations I have found there are three main stressors:
~ Low morale
~ Stressed-out teams
~ Poor or lack of communication
These three stressors can wreak havoc on teams and cause a breakdown of productivity.
Humor, laughter, and improvisation are skills and tools that can help get to the heart of the matter in an effective, yet, playful way. Corporations, associations, and organizations often mistakenly believe there is no room for humor at work. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Improvisation skills help employees:
~ Practice and perfect their listening skills
~ Remove the walls of judgment
~ Learn to accept each other’s differences
~ Create a more understanding and cohesive environment
 
Humor is a powerful tool.
In this book I explain the top seven ways humor, laughter, and improv can help managers build effective teams.
