Jenny Debevec

In this quick and dirty episode we bring you advise from the street corner with improv guru and public radio talk show host Michael O’Brien, who shares the life lessons and parenting rules you can learn from improvisation:

  1. There are no rules
  2. Say Yes, (or at least be curious about what they want)
  3. There are no mistakes (and when there are, learn from them!)
  4.  Life is full of contradictions, so stop trying to make it all make sense.
  5. Develop your own method
  6. Focus on your connection
  7. Be in the moment
