The CVBT Podcast: Norm Laviolette
• How techniques used by improv actors can be applied to business
• “That audience is often drunk and yelling at them”

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.
