Description

“Starting my own gig or my own business is pretty much like heading into a [serious] committed relationship. It requires work from both parties. It requires attention. It’s a commitment...” - Michelle Clarke

When we think of improv theater, we think of it as a form of art and entertainment, not realizing that it offers lessons that can be applied to any business. We have Michelle Clarke, a global online facilitator, speaker, and leadership coach, to tell us how exactly it can be done. 

Michelle’s vision is to help entrepreneurs capitalize on what she believes is the “best accelerator to success,” an emotionally intelligent personal brand. Her own personal branding now allows her to hit the road regularly, travel the globe, and deliver thought leadership, training, and workshops designed to help her clients become better leaders.

Tune in now to learn how to apply improv theater to your business!
