Improv gets MADE

185 Reality Shows walk into a COMEDY THEATER

Reverse. In the Style of Cribs. Now in 30 seconds. HEY!

I’ve been asked to offer a comedy workshop and a private class for a local kid participating in the show MADE for MTV. Score one for improv. I’m looking forward to spreading the gospel and inspiring an entire family to play a little. One more “YES! AND…” closer to solving the creativity crisis

I’ve got a Corporate Stalker!

I hit the road today for a DSI COMMUNICATION job in Northern VA. It’s been on the books for a couple months but the powers that be just informed the sales team what the agenda would entail. What happened next was a complete surprise. One of the participants googled me. Ok, that’s not a surprise.

But that participant wrote me a note in advance of meeting me.

CORPORATE STALKER: We were finally given information today about our corporate training. So I did a little research. Sounds like you will provide us with some “positive insight and FUN”!

So, of course, I write back.

ZW: You may be the first workshop participant to ever “stalk” me in advance. That’s actually a fantastic sign for Tuesday… See you early on the 16th!

And the participant wrote me back.

CORPORATE STALKER: Zach! Too funny! Look forward to it!

Maybe this post shouldn’t be about Corporate Stalkers. I could have focused on Enthusiasm and Motivation — I LOVE what I do but I am even more motivated now to #Hustle and rock that improv workshop. Why? A participant who was not part of the program booking took a minute to share THEIR enthusiasm with me. That means a lot. I’ve facilitated TOO MANY corporate workshops with groups that could have used a hardcore “YES AND” primer just to embrace the idea of a workshop about positivity.

I could have focused on Enthusiasm and Motivation, but I prefer to think ZW has a Stalker.

What notes have you sent recently to motivate your clients? Other team members? Friends?

What three simple notes will you send today?

Improv Guru for Women

Okay. That title may be a Bit loaded (and a joke Zannie).

But I’m about to stream LIVE on the internet with the Host of Here Women Talk and I can’t get my head around that. I’ve been called an improv guru by former student Jessica Durivage and she wants to chat about the power of YES!, #YesAnd as a philosophy for life, and how I’ve spread the gospel of improv.

Listen LIVE from 3pm – 4pm EST, http://zeusradio.com/station/hwt/
