About this listen
2021 Audie Award Nominee for Best Business/Personal Development Audiobook
A Financial Times Top Business Book 2020
Improv performers look like creative geniuses, coming up with brilliant comedy on the spur of the moment. But they rely on some simple rules and techniques - ones which anyone can learn, and which can help us offstage to think creatively, collaborate with others and communicate with impact.
Improvise! will show you how to handle whatever comes your way at work - from giving confident presentations and handling difficult conversations to coming up with great ideas and persuading others to make them happen.
Comedian and improvisation for business coach Max Dickins combines examples from the world of work with exercises from the stage to teach you how to achieve extraordinary results with what you’ve already got.

(P)2020 Brilliance Publishing, Inc., all rights reserved.Improvise by Max Dickins is like being thron stage with no script and realizing — halfway through a pratfall — that life’s been an improv show all along. With the charm of a stand-up comic and the wisdom of someone who's clearly bombed a few times and lived to tell the tale, Max turns the art of improvisation into a toolkit for surviving awkward meetings, unexpected curveballs, and conversations with toddlers (or CEOs — same thing).
It’s not just about theatre games or making people laugh — it’s about listening like your WiFi depends on it, embracing the chaos, and turning “uh-oh” into “aha!”. Whether you're a performer, a professional, or a person who’s ever had to think on your feet (read: all of us), this book makes you want to lean into uncertainty and high-five it on the way down.
Highly recommended for anyone who’s tired of pretending to have all the answers — and is ready to dance with the unknown instead.
