ned and the unexpected, from a broken toaster to losing (or gaining) a major client. Our natural ability to improvise gets us through. But we feel as if we're winging it, rather than acting with courage and conviction.

Robert Poynton teaches an acclaimed method to some of the world's biggest brands and companies, including Nike, Chanel and PwC. In this new edition, he shows us how these improvisational skills can be applied to the everyday business of work and life - helping us to navigate the daily obstacles and reminding us how the unplanned and the unexpected can be a source of wonder and delight.
