Yesterday, I took an Improvisation workshop for Life coaches. It was a workshop with Daena Giardella, an amazing actor, writer, creativity and acting coach.
While I was listening to her, I became more and more aware of the little space we give to spontaneity and improvisation in our lives. All the time, we strive to be perfect. We plan and follow rules, anxiously trying to avoid failure.
But if we restrict ourselves to what’s already tried and tested, how will we find new solutions and make exciting discoveries?
Daena says, “Improvisation is about making choices and daring to give them your fullest commitment even before you know why or where it will lead you.”
