159: The Missing Piece of Your Business Culture: Improv Comedy with Adi Clerman

When you tell your team they have a professional development day next Friday, what would come to their minds? If it’s “sitting through another training,” you might want to reconsider your approach. Think about it like this: Everyone you work with is smart. Everyone knows strategies to be more productive, to stay focused, and to do the things a hypothetical Employee of the Month would do. As a result, your team doesn’t need to “sit through another training.” Your team needs something different. Something that’s a challenge, not a bore. Something that’ll make them laugh, allow them to be themselves, and not explicitly be about work . Erin and Adi conclude their three-part series with a conversation about why Adi decided to make improv comedy workshops a focal point of the professional development calendar for 480 professionals she leads.
