SUMMARY:Off Script: Mastering the Art of Business Improv
DESCRIPTION:Going OFF SCRIPT doesn’t come naturally to most organizational leaders. We want to control the narrative\, ensure ideal outcomes\, script the conversations\, manage the problems\, predict the future\, and win (negotiations\, new business\, market share\, and more). But what if good leaders could become better leaders by doing the opposite — by letting go of the control\, by going “off script” in their conversations and negotiations\, by being present instead of rushing to the future\, and by collaborating in authentic\, empathetic ways. \n  \nBy the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: \n  \n\nEmbracing the philosophy of “Yes! And”\nRecognize that over preparing is the key\nRead the audience and be prepared to go “Off Script”\nImplement the strategy of “listen to understand’\nDevelop an adaptability strategy\nDesign a collaborative culture and trust your team\nValue taking risks
