YES = PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY
“YES!” is all about accepting your colleagues and their contributions to the team. We create a safe space and level playing field for all. We accept our colleague 100% as is. EVERYTHING they say and do. We do not judge. We do not fear. We trust each other AND ourselves.
AND = PERFORMANCE DRIVE
“AND…” is all about contributing valuable work and information to the team. We are going to take this to the next level by accepting our colleagues’ work, building upon with our own contributions. Performance driveis not a selfish process. We have a collective ambition to grow and achieve together as a team.
When the whole team embraces “YES! And…” we enter the learning zone together. No challenge is insurmountable when we work together in a supportive exchange of ideas and actions. Simply playing these games develops creativity, critical thinking, public speaking/ Presentation Skills, listening, focus, self confidence and more. We use Improv to teach team building, leadership, sales, service skills and more.
