AS04: Rebecca Stockley, improvisation teacher Applied Speaking

This week's guest is: Rebecca Stockley, Co-Founder of BATS Improv, San  Francisco’s premiere Improvisational Theatre Company. Rebecca is an  applied improviser, sharing the principles of improv with people and  organizations to activate positive communications and collaboration and  to enable adaptation both on and off stage.

Improvisation is yet another way to make me (and you!) really  comfortable with always being able to say something.   

We talk about the following topics:
- Applied Improv: Using the principles of improv to help people off  stage,
- Improv as a way to get more in touch with yourself,
- Improv can unblock people creatively,
- How adrenaline is the enemy of improv and how to mitigate it,
- Why we have Zoom Fatigue and how to overcome it,
- Why play is the opposite of depression.      

In this podcast I interview speaking experts and let them live coach me. At the end of each episode I ask guests for homework to train the  speaking skills on my own. If you want to receive these homework  exercises in your mailbox: speaking.substack.com
