Class teaches how to use improv to help your business

No matter what's happening in the economy, business gets done through personal interaction. In Bellingham there's an interesting class that's been helping business owners and Western business students learn the art of creating that connection with a client.

Earlier this month I dropped in on a BizProv class at the Upfront Theatre in downtown Bellingham. Taught by Galen Emanuele, the business skills class I observed was with a group of Western Washington University students in the MBA program. For the past year Emanuele has also been working one-on-one with business leaders, as well as groups of employees, to improve communication through improvisation.
