[The rules of improv can make you funnier. They can also make you more confident.](https://www.npr.org/2022/10/19/1129907651/improv-can-build-confidence-heres-how-to-apply-it-to-your-everyday-life)

I wanted to share this because I thought it was very PLIX-adjacent. I’m adding “Yes, and” and “Don’t shy away from yourself” to my repertoire of facilitation mantras 🙂

I really like that they illustrated their rules, and love seeing the parallels between improv and creative learning. The two flow together swimmingly! 🐟 🐟

Thank you for sharing @joem!
