Flexible Thinking Workshop with DC Improv
Liz Demery - Improv Coach, DC Improv
Get ready to embrace the awkward, be present (not perfect!) and expand your flexible thinking skills in a series of conversation-based improv exercises with DC Improv. You'll learn how to recognize habits you have in your own thinking and replace them with curiosity and a "yes, and..." approach to problem solving. Expect to walk out with a more mindful and specific appreciation of your unique operating system and how to leverage your strengths with more agility.
