About The Book

Improve your life, where everything’s not made up and the points do matter.

Drew Carey’s show Whose Line Is It Anyway? has turned improvisational comedy into a pop culture phenomenon. But improv is more than just laughs—it’s a valuable training tool that will make you a more effective business professional.
Inside, you will discover how to:
• Replace negative phrases like “Yes, but...” with successful terms like “Yes, and...”
• Park your agenda and really hear your client out. By listening to understand, you can adapt to their ideas and produce a more positive outcome.
• Grow your client relationships beyond the numbers to build rapport, comfort, and trust.

Improv is no Joke is must-read for accountants, bankers, and other financial professionals to sharpen the invaluable leadership and communication skills you need to successfully relate to clients and communicate complex information in a user-friendly way.
