Say YES, And!: Avish Parashar

 Today's guest is Avish Parashar author of "Say 'Yes, And!'

These 2 Little Words that Will Transform Your Career, Organization, and Life!" The book takes a fundamental principle from improv comedy - saying "yes, and" instead of "yes, but" - and shows the reader how that simple idea can help them improve their careers, business, relationships, and life. Though it may seem like a simple shift, there is immense power in switching from, "yes, but" to "yes, and."

Avish has taught, performed, and studied improv comedy for over 20 years. His first book, "Improvise to Success!: 16 Simple but Powerful Principles that Will Take You to Personal and Professional Success," came out in 2006. He has also created a variety of audio and video products on the topics of humor, improv, and communication.
