Do Improvise Publisher's Summary

Every day we deal with the unplanned and the unexpected, from a broken toaster to losing (or gaining) a major client. Our natural ability to improvise gets us through. But we feel as if we’re winging it, rather than acting with courage and conviction.

Robert Poynton teaches his acclaimed method to some of the world’s biggest brands and companies. Now, he shows us how these improvisational skills can be applied to the everyday business of work and life – helping us to navigate daily obstacles and reminding us how the unplanned and the unexpected can be a source of wonder and delight.

Do Improvise will help you to:

  • Become more productive without trying harder
  • Overcome creative blocks and generate new ideas
  • Respond fluidly to circumstances beyond your control
  • Realise that you don’t have to know everything

Not sure what to do next? Improvise.

'Improv skills can transform a person's experience of everyday life, and this delightful book by the reliably brilliant Rob Poynton will show you how.'
John-Paul Flintoff, author

'A handbook for spontaneous and creative living, from a brilliant practitioner who lives by his own words.'
Adam Morgan, founding partner, eatbigfish

‘Robert’s book is insanely relevant as we seek to make sense of our lives and our work practices... I love the book.’
Chris Pirie, founder, The Learning Futures Group
