🎙️ Think Fast. Work Smart. Improv Your Way Through the Corporate Jungle.

What if the key to smarter, faster, more adaptive leadership wasn’t another MBA… but improv?

In this episode of Second Life Leader, I sit down with Andrew Davies, improv coach and founder of Artly Working, to unpack the unexpected power of improvisation inside the office jungle. We’re not talking about cheesy trust falls or drama class antics—we’re talking about real-world mental elasticity, team collaboration, and the kind of adaptable thinking that turns meetings from monologues into momentum.

We cover:

* Why most corporate meetings are a productivity graveyard (and how to fix them)

* How to train your team to actually think together instead of just perform individually

* The “Beastie Rap” technique that sharpens team focus and builds trust

* Why bad ideas are the gateway drug to breakthrough ones

* The real metric of meeting success (spoiler: it’s not attendance)

Whether you’re rebuilding after burnout or leading a team through chaos, this episode is your playbook for staying sharp when the plan falls apart.

🔥 This isn’t about followers. It’s about freedom. And freedom isn’t granted—it’s forged.
