Why worry?

December 11, 2010 by Toby Martini Leave a Comment

There is no point to worrying about anything!

You worry because you think that worrying is doing something about it and hence by worrying you believe that you will help prevent disaster. You worry because you believe it works for you.

And when the events you were worried about finally come about, you feel justified that you were correct in worrying about them because, look, here they are now!

Worry is useless, because at best it can only disrupt the desired positive outcome, and at worst bring about a negative outcome. There is not a single instance where worry can work positively. So why bother to do it any more?

— David Cameron Gikandi

In Improv you can’t take the time to worry about how it’s going to work. You just Do IT. We walk out on stage and say the first thing that comes up.

Don’t stop to think. You might not get started again.

And it works, because we’re all trained to “Yes, and…” every idea. Can you train your team, your business, your family to play the “Yes, and…” game, to Agree and Add To every idea??

I guarantee you’ll be more succesful, more fulfilled, and definitely have more fun!

Testimonials

In today's business environment, teams do most of the essential work. Making these teams agile and innovative is the secret to success. Every member of the team must bring all their faculties to the table. But often fear of mistakes, fear of looking silly, fear of reproach stops members from contributing fully.

In the "Improving Communication" class, Mr. Martini's takes a team and in a safe, friendly environment, allows them to see that fear is an illusion. The class employs several improv exercises that help participants to immediately see that there is nothing to fear in collaboration.

Thinking fast on your feet is a skill that takes practice, The exercises that Mr. Martini employs empower the participants to grow their skills and feel more confident at work.

Mr. Martini's style and manner set the audience at ease and allow them to have fun while learning.
I recommend his class to anyone who needs to empower their team to work together more efficiently.

Thanks,
