*TOP 1% GLOBAL PODCAST* Pssst…it’s your work bestie again tapping you on the shoulder telling you to take a breather from sending another email because I’ve got some tea–piping hot, actually. I’m Erin Diehl, founder of improve it!l (AKA, your work bestie), and I’m going to take you on a much needed excursion from your workday from the comfort of your very own headphones. Every Wednesday, your Workday Playdate will give you research-based, tangible strategies to transform yourself through improv comedy techniques and play. It’s all designed to bring the fun back to your job and remind you that taking a break from your workday is ironically what improves it the most. And with a little play date snack every Monday, you’ll start your week off on the right foot with a fresh idea to incorporate, pronto. Oversharing and knee-slappers guaranteed. Welcome, my friend. Let’s play!
