Acerca de esta escucha
Improve your life, where everything’s not made up, and the points do matter. Drew Carey’s show Whose Line Is It Anyway? has turned improvisational comedy into a pop-culture phenomenon. But improv is more than just laughs - it’s a valuable training tool that will make you a more effective business professional.
Inside, you will discover how to:
- Replace negative phrases like “Yes, but...” with successful terms like “Yes, and...”
- Park your agenda and really hear your client out. By listening to understand, you can adapt to their ideas and produce a more positive outcome.
- Grow your client relationships beyond the numbers to build rapport, comfort, and trust.
Improv Is No Joke is must-listen for accountants, bankers, and other financial professionals to sharpen the invaluable leadership and communication skills you need to successfully relate to clients and communicate complex information in a user-friendly way.
“Peter is the first CPA speaker who actually made me laugh. Who knew accountants could be funny AND inspiring? Now, if I could just get my taxes to not be a joke!” (Judy Carter, author of The Comedy Bible and The Message of You)

Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to believe or do something they don't really want to. But that cutthroat mentality makes the process much harder than it has to be—especially in an economic downturn, when customers are more suspicious and defensive. It's far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus exclusively on creating value for the customer.

Every day there are moments when you must persuade, inform, and motivate others effectively. Each of those moments requires you, in some way, to play a role, to heighten the impact of your words, and to manage your emotions and nerves. Every interaction is a performance, whether you're speaking up in a meeting, pitching a client, or walking into a job interview.

One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that our ability to network depends on having the “gift-of-gab”. You don’t have to be outgoing to be successful at networking. You don’t have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don’t have to act like an extrovert at all. Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted networking.

What type of person comes to mind when you think of an introvert, and what type of person comes to mind when you think of a leader? The two words are rarely linked together. Society often labels people with introverted personalities as at least one of the following: quiet, shy, reserved, or timid. While at the same time leaders are described as dominant, passionate, outgoing, and ambitious.
