Applied Improvisation: How the Other AI Can Save Your Career

Description:

Anxious about AI taking your job, disrupting your field, and leaving you behind? Then it’s time to lean into another AI, one that relies on your humanity and your innate creativity: Applied Improvisation. In this experiential workshop, we’ll practice playful and practical improv techniques to boost your adaptability, communication skills, and resilience, and we’ll have fun doing it. The mindset and tools we’ll play with will help you navigate change, turn challenges into opportunities, and connect authentically with others to be something an AI never can: an amazing human.
