In this interactive keynote, longtime Second City creative executive Kelly Leonard (author of the best-selling book, "Yes, And") will speak to the skills that made stars of everyone from Bill Murray to Tina Fey and how those same skills can be used in work environments to foster more agile and successful collaborations. Additionally, attendees will get to practice some of the exercises that Second City has used with everyone from Major League Baseball players to FBI hostage negotiators and scientists working with the Gates Foundation. 

Key take aways include learning how a yes, and mindset can open new doors and deepen existing relationships; how evidence-based bespoke exercises can help you foster greater connections; and techniques that will help you manage difficult conversations.
