Yes, And… Lessons from Second City Improv class

Yes, And… Lessons from Second City Improv class

I bet you didn’t know, I went through the Second City training Center Improv training program in Chicago!

Yes, And… it was LIFE CHANGING!

Why? Because I started to embody the improv rule of “Yes, and…” It was one of the most expansive things I’ve ever done.

“Yes, and…” encourages you to accept the information you just received add new info to it!

It keeps your mind open to new possibilities, seeking new solutions, improves communication and allows ideas to keep flowing.

To keep us safe our mind can default to “Yes, BUT” and tries to find all the ways it is unsafe for us to try something new or being open to new possibilities!

“Yes, and…” opens up a whole world of possibilities!

Next time you find yourself thinking or saying “Yes, BUT…” try swapping it to “Yes, AND…”

Then pay attention to the different types of ideas that come into play! Let us know what new things come your way!

Hope your day is as wonderful as you are!

With love, The twins
