Use the Secrets of Improv to Build Confidence, Connect with Others & Face Anything
'Improv' performers look like creative geniuses, coming up with brilliant comedy on the spur of the moment. But they rely on some simple rules and techniques - ones which anyone can learn. Improvise! takes the ideas and skills from improvisation offstage to help you communicate more clearly, act more confidently and think on your feet. In a world of constant change and unrelenting speed, we can sometimes feel like we're struggling to keep up. Improv shows you how to handle whatever comes your way - from adapting to change at work, to speaking confidently, negotiating like a pro and overcoming your fear of failure. Plus you'll have fun while you do it! Using proven methods, real-world examples and a light-hearted approach, comedian and coach Max Dickins teaches you the secrets of improv to achieve extraordinary results with what you've already got.

Max Dickins is the director of Hoopla, the UK's biggest improv school and theatre, where he trains both performers and corporate clients. A comedian and playwright, he has taken three critically acclaimed shows to Edinburgh Festival and Fringe; he is also the author of My Groupon Adventure (Unbound, 2016).
