Lessons from Improv...

As a comedy improv performer, Juliana learned three lessons she still lives by and uses in her work today: 

1. Accept what is:  Using YES, And... instead of Yeah, but...is a powerful communication tool AND way of living life.

2. Make time for Play: Play reduces stress, helps us learn better and makes it easier to solve problems.

3. If you want to be more powerful, be more present.
