Accept Your

IMPROVISATION
ACCEPTING ALL
OFFERS
Accept the
Offers the World
Gives You
Dan Klein
"Going Beyond Hello"
TED at Stanford
Imagine you have a box sitting on
your lap, take your hand and feel
your box, what is your box made
of, imagine it's size, shape, color,
look inside, reach your hand it
and pull out what is inside,
touch it, feel it,
and
see what your brain gives you
Everything is an offer,
even and especially the mistakes.
When we find a mistake we realize that is an offer from the world
and
say "Yes...and"
Exercise: Choose a color
Find someone wearing that color and introduce yourself to them
and practice accepting their offer, your offer and the world's offers

2. Let Yourself Fail
Accept that
failure is a
natural thing.
I'll just start again.
4. Say "yes"
(Accept every offer)
A series of "yeses"
will take us
somewhere
5. Say
"and"
"yes...and"
Pay
attention to
the world
around you
Don't make
jokes, make
sense
"yes"
"and"
Making
mistakes is a
part of
improv
Develop an
eye of
gratitude of
others
Take whatever
emerges and
make
something out
of it

Wisdom
Make sense
of the
moment
Trust your very
first thought
Trying to come
up with a
"good" idea will
get in the way

An approach
to doing
anything across
disciplines
Time is
precious
and limited
Create
conditions
where our
creative
selves can
work
Discover the
answer
rather than
expect the
right answer
Begin - do
something don't wait for
the right
moment
