This collection of Applied Improvisation stories and strategies draws back the curtain on an exciting, innovative, growing field of practice and research that is changing the way people lead, create, and collaborate. Gary Hirsch is the co-author of Chapter One: Burger, Fries, and a Side of Improv

Everything’s an Offer tells the story of one business person’s adventure in the world of improvisational theatre. It explains how the practises improv is based on can help you make more with what you have, using less effort, less energy and less resources (whilst creating less difficulty and stress). It illustrates, with myriad examples and stories, how anybody leading a busy and complicated life can put these ideas into action and why doing so will help them lead a more satisfying, creative and sustainable life.

It extends the applications of improv far beyond team building and offers a new language for thinking about how we go about business – a language that has been used by Fortune 500 companies such as Nike, Intel and FedEx to help them communicate better, build stronger relationships (internally or with customers), propel people into action and get to new ideas and solutions.

This small but powerful book(let) breaks down 5 tools to immediately make your presentations (both live and virtual) more engaging and memorable. Designed from years of experiences as a TEdX, corporate, and improv speaker, this 10 minute read will change the way you present forever.
