2. Just to clarify
Improvisation is a skill set used in business
that needs to be fine tuned for people to
be able to function at the peak of their
intelligence. It is not about comedy or
being funny. It IS about soft skills,
heightened communication and a focus on
how to react in the moments that truly
matter.

definition.
