09 Mar 353: Joe Van Haecke – IMPROV STRATEGIES for Leadership, Love & Life!
Guys… I’m so excited to introduce you to my friend Joe Van Haecke. For over 20 years, Joe has studied, performed, and coached improv. Now… in addition to performing improv… he’s bringing what he calls the tenets of the “Yes/And” life to business people, educators, leaders… and heck… even lawyers!
His training company helps people to be better communicators… better collaborators… and stronger leaders… all through the power and simplicity of improv strategies. And a recent experience over coffee with Joe, made me say…
we’ve got to talk about this on DREAM THINK DO! So, let’s get to this!!!

I want to hear from YOU!
Okay… let’s get YOUR thoughts. What do you think? Does the thought of IMPROV freak you out? Or… do you find yourself wanting to hop on a stage and “Yes/And” with the best of ‘em light you up?
I’ll be honest… I can totally see the power of these strategies… but the idea of performing LIVE scares the snots out of me. (But that probably means I need to do it sometime soon… right?)
How about it? What’s something that resonated with you?
More importantly… where’s an area where you’re going to try to inject some IMPROV technics into your daily life? Leave a comment and let us know!!! I can’t wait to hear from YOU!
