253: How Can You 'Yes, And' Transform Your Team's Brainstorming Sessions?
Update: 2024-08-28
Description
"Yes, and” is a central tenet of improv—and our favorite buzzword. It means to postpone judgement on what someone just said, and then add your own thought to it. For example, “Yes I think what you just said is so important, and I think _________.” It’s the exact opposite of saying, “Yes, but.”
In today’s episode, Erin answers a question from a listener about how to make brainstorming sessions more impactful. She gives you a foolproof exercise you can do with your team right now that incorporate lots of “yes, and.”
If your team’s brainstorming sessions could use a little oomph—this is the episode for you.
