The CVBT Podcast: Norm Laviolette

So says Norm Laviolette, who has been performing, directing or producing live comedy for more than 20 years. His new book, “The Art of Making Sh!t Up: How to Work Together to Become an Unstoppable Powerhouse,” describes how the techniques of improv can transform teams into more powerful, creative and healthy organizations.
