Say: Yes

  • To say yes is to make a leap of faith to risk oneself in a new relationship
  • Look for the positive in challenging situations
  • “Begin in the middle” by integrating previous accomplishments in order to work towards new goals
  • Develop a forward thinking, collaborative instinct
  • Workshop together to create a workshop place culture or ‘yes, and…’

“…yes I said yes I will Yes”
-James Joyce, Ulysses

“Piven brings high energy back into your organization and teams. It was a break from the normal activity that we normally do in various leadership and office-wide meetings. We invited Piven to Chicago, Detroit and Toronto — each city brought them into different types of meetings. In Toronto — it was a leadership meeting with about 25 people, in Detroit, we made it a 45-minute activity as part of a Quarterly Town Hall Office meeting and in Chicago, we did small sessions with people over an afternoon, Today, the teams use the theater games as energizers when meetings need them most. It is not only memorable experience for your teams, it gives your teams the space and focus to elevate their thinking and create connected experiences.”

“Studies have shown that people can improve their communication skills and lower their anxiety with regular practice. Improv’s low-stakes training increases the likelihood that team members will feel comfortable communicating in a variety of work situations. ‘Yes, and’ is the key.”
