Did you know that ‘improv’ training can improve teamwork, communication, presentation skills, and creative problem-solving, and can strengthen a company’s overall corporate culture?

In this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, you’ll hear my conversation with Erin Diehl, where we discuss how the mindsets of improv are transferrable to leadership and teamwork, and how letting go and embracing failure will actually make you a stronger leader.

Erin “Big” Diehl is a Business Improv Edutainer, Failfluencer, and Professional Zoombie. Through a series of unrelated dares, Erin created improve it!, a unique professional development company that pushes others to laugh, learn, play, and grow. She is the proud host of The improve it! Podcast, which helps develop leaders and teams through play, improv and experiential learning.
