Below are a series of deliverables. To maximize your learning from this course complete each of the items listed below. Let us know if you have any questions.
- After experiencing the opening webinar and going through the materials in the LIBRARY, send Kat an email at kat@koppett.com describing:
- How Improv can support the kind of work you do?
- Why Improv won't work for you? And, how you plan to make it work despite that.
- Review the six focal areas of Improv. In the same email to Kat, tell her which one is the most easy one for you to adopt as a principle in your work. Which one is the least comfortable or scariest to adapt?
- (TRUST, LISTENING AND AWARENESS) Have a conversation with a colleague. Ask them to tell you about a recent experience that they found annoying or frustrating.
- Listen without interrupting
- Respond by saying:
- “Here’s what I heard you say…” (Feed back the concrete information and facts of the scenario)
- “Here’s what I hear you care about….” (Feed back what you intuit they value, what’s important to them, what motivates them.)
- Journal about:
- How if felt to listen like that?
- How did TRUST affect the experience?
- How did your partner respond?
- How did the interaction seem to affect the relationship?
- (SPONTANEITY) You can listen to interior voices too... Everyone has a judge living up in their head. What does yours sound like? Can you imagine their face? Name your judge: Kat's is “old Prunella.” Describe the character - Draw a picture, write a description, or act out the character on a video and send it to us at kat@koppett.com.
