So for me, that's the most beautiful part of improv that I bring into the coaching that I do as well. Because a lot of people feel that there are only those two extremes. You can either have a script and do a presentation and be fully prepared, or you're just going to wing it.

But there's actually a way to be prepared to have mental structures, to have thought structures that will help you structure your thoughts on the fly so that you don't feel like you're just blurting out things completely unprepared. So for me, that's the biggest thing that I learned from improv and that I keep very close to my heart and then to the coaching work that I do.

be this confident woman that people would then applaud and come up to and say, wow, that was amazing. But all the while on the inside, I felt awful because I hadn't worked on my inner confidence.

So that's looking at how you're being perceived, going on the outside. Then we work on the inner confidence piece.
