One Word Suggestion: Ankle

March 1, 2020 • 4 mins
Basketball players wear high tops and gymnasts use lots of tape, but less demanding activities, like the ones you do around the office, require a different, but equally important, type of support.

One Word Suggestion: Hippos

February 22, 2020 • 4 mins
If a cocaine sniffing hippo starts chasing you, run in a zig-zag because they can only run in a straight line. If an improviser chases you, stay where you are, say "yes, and..." and see what happens.

One Word Suggestion: Parasite

February 16, 2020 • 4 mins
Do you have parasites at the office? People who take credit for other people's efforts, or who bring snacks and coffee to meetings, but never share any ideas? Improv can help.

One Word Suggestion: Parachute

February 9, 2020 • 4 mins
Use your fear as a divining rod. Do what makes you uneasy. Do the thing that scares you most, and discover new things about yourself. Just do it safely.

One Word Suggestion: Firetruck

February 2, 2020 • 4 mins
Even if you plan for a bushfire, it is not going to go to plan. When the wind changes direction there has to be a new plan. And when plans fail, you must improvise.

One Word Suggestion: Pineapple

January 26, 2020 • 4 mins
If you're the kind of person who sometimes comes across as a bit prickly on the outside, but the people who know you think you're sweet, you might be a "social pineapple."

One Word Suggestion: Freedom

January 19, 2020 • 8 mins
After 8 years of trying, last week I finally broke into prison. We went in hoping to help inmates find some joy and arm themselves with tools for survival on the outside. I don't know if we succeeded.

One Word Suggestion: Lipstick

December 15, 2019 • 4 mins
Lipstick, in improv terms, is essentially “yes, anding” your face. Accepting the reality and building on it, working with what you have to make something even better.

One Word Suggestion: Pizza!

December 8, 2019 • 4 mins
Improv teaches you to take risks. Trying new things on a pizza, the stakes are low. But on the job, we tend not to take risks at all because if things go wrong, we get burned.

One Word Suggestion: Authenticity

December 1, 2019 • 3 mins
You can always tell when you see or meet someone who is truly authentic and living comfortably and openly with who they are. And usually, they’re our most favourite people to be around.

One Word Suggestion: Teamwork

November 24, 2019 • 3 mins
Get what you want, not by trying to be bossy, funny or cool, but by doing what's necessary to make your whole group look good instead of just worrying about yourself.

One Word Suggestion: Uncertainty

November 17, 2019 • 4 mins
Ambiguity is not something to be feared but a given… We never have complete and perfect information. The best way to succeed in life is to revel in ambiguity.

One Word Suggestion: Watching

November 10, 2019 • 4 mins
Our ability to observe people and situations and translate those observations into useful opportunities for personal growth and development is wonderful. So are sunglasses.
