If you\\u2019re reading from your notes, you\\u2019re going to miss the magic of the moment. That\\u2019s why Adam Tobin, Dan Klein, and Patricia Ryan Madsen bring improv techniques to all their communication.

Communication experts in their respective fields of media, performance, and drama, Tobin, Klein, and Madsen all see the immense power of improv in helping us communicate more freely. As Tobin says, \\u201cYou do the preparation so that you are expert in the material. And then you let go of the specific delivery of the information in favor of being aware of what\'s going on now.\\u201d Madsen agrees, explaining that we don\\u2019t need all the answers, we just need to show up. \\u201cStep first,\\u201d she says, \\u201cthen see where you are.\\u201d

In this celebration of the 100th episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, the three guests join host Matt Abrahams to discuss how improv can transform our communication in everything from small talk to work presentations, and help us create space where we feel safe enough to show up as our most authentic selves.
