About Chris

An idea worth spreading

Adopting an improvisational mindset can make us more effective leaders and more effective change agents. In its most realized forms, improvisation is the creation and development of new, unexpected, and productive co-creative relations among people. It is a practice that goes beyond the arts (e.g. theatre, music)… physicians, teachers, community organizers, and athletes also improvise. When we improvise... we make “a way” out of “no way” by cultivating the capacity to discern possibility, hope, and promise in even the most discouraging circumstances. Improvisation teaches us to enact the possibilities we envision.
