Avish Parashar is an energetic and humorous speaker who uses his 20+ years of experience performing, teaching and studying improv comedy to show organizations and individuals how to deal with the unexpected quickly, effectively, and with a sense of humor. Avish is the author of “Improvise to Success!” and the Amazon best-seller, “Say ‘Yes, And!‘” He has also created dozens of other products on applying improv skills to business and life.
Weaving together humorous stories, jokes, audience interaction, and improv comedy games, Avish keeps the audience engaged while imparting a key lesson: Planning is Important, but Improvising is Essential! No matter how well you plan, things will go wrong, surprises will arise, and the Universe will throw you a curveball. Your success and sanity are directly related to how you respond these challenges. By the end of one of Avish’s presentations you will have key tools to flow with all that life throws at you.
Avish has spoken to the very creative (actors and directors), the very un-creative (accountants), the very casual (college students), and the very business-like (sales professionals). The end result is always the same – smiles, laughs, and a new way of looking at life and business.
Business today should be more like improv than standup… Your people are called upon to constantly deal with changes in the industry, economy, market, organization, and technology. This hilarious and energetic program will show your people how to stop fearing and hating change and how to use the power of improv comedy to improvise, adapt, and innovate – no matter what happens!
“Avish is that rare breed of speaker that is able to use personal material but craft it in a way that is relevant and has a powerful message for the audience. He’s the perfect balance of practical content and dynamic entertainment!”
“It was unlike anything we had seen before, and it was extremely well-received.”
“I connected with the client today. She said you were “amazing.” She thought you were a ‘perfect mix of funny delivery with appropriate message, kept everyone engaged the entire time, and were a great way to start the conference.’”
