Learning to Actually Listen.
Improv is based on soft skills such as listening and communicating. Listening is crucial because you need to be present and in the moment, Halpern says. “Most people are waiting to speak and not listening in the moment. Instead, they’re thinking of what they’re going to say,” she says. In improv, you must listen to what’s been said and pay attention so you can react appropriately. If you’re not focused on what’s happening around you, you miss an opportunity to build the scene, and the show comes to a screeching halt.
Encourage brainstorming by creating a safe place to fail.
Nobody wants to be thought of as an idiot, Halpern says. “Improv helps to get people to work together, where they’re not afraid to make a suggestion,” she says. It creates a positive working environment, where employees know they can provide ideas without fear that they’ll be shot down.
