ADAPT - IMPROVISE - OVERCOME
Submitted by bwurtz on March 18, 2009 - 7:59am.Wally Wilkins made the point at yesterday's Chapter meeting that part of what makes the United States Marines so tough and effective is the attitude embodied in the slogan Adapt - Improvise - Overcome. We are presenting a unique learning opportunity where you can increase your resiliency to deal with tough times and have a lot of fun in the process. The skills that make improv actors so successful on the stage are the same ones that are crucial to our success in everyday life and work: skills in communication, innovation, leadership, and team building.
