Even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit — a magic blend of skill, faith, and valor - that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.

As a Mr. A. Goldfinger would say, “Mr. Bond, they have a saying in (Bohemian BONDI): ‘Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.’”

Tom Wolfe once wrote that “the greatest hoax of modern history” occurred when “Russia’s ruling ‘socialist workers party,’ the Communists established themselves as the polar opposites of their two socialist clones, the National Socialist German Workers Party (quicknamed ‘The Nazis’) and Italy’s Marxist-inspired Fascisiti, by branding both as “the fascists,” which quickly led to those two socialist clones as being described, per Stalin’s orders, as “right wing” for the rest of the 20th century with very little pushback from limited-government conservatives and libertarians until recent years. The Democrats’ ongoing efforts to offload their shameful racist past onto the GOP has to run a close second. Don’t let them get away with it.

The future of work is increasingly digital, decentralized and messy. We were never very good at communicating and understanding one another -- just imagine how bad things might get when we need our humans to access their most human qualities: empathy, divergent thinking, problem solving and storytelling --- times like now?
Is there an app for that?
The short answer is no.... But there is improvisation. Improvisation is a practice in tapping into our collaborative and creative selves, and it’s a great tool for digital collaboration.
In this keynote, Second City's Kelly Leonard will give you an improvisational primer on using an evidence-based approach to learning through improvisation, and why this is the key to the next great work revolution.
