How Applied Improvisation Develops and Reinforces Interpersonal Skills

from The Effective Statistician - in association with PSI Hosted by Alexander Schacht and Benjamin Piske, biometricians, statisticians and leaders in the pharma industry

In this episode, Alun Bedding speaks with Richard Zink about how **applied improvisation** can help statisticians become more effective communicators and leaders. They explore how improv techniques—like “yes, and,” active listening, and embracing mistakes—build confidence, strengthen collaboration, and improve the way we explain complex ideas. This conversation shows that developing interpersonal skills doesn’t have to be theoretical or boring—it can be practical, interactive, and even fun. If you want to communicate your ideas more clearly, connect better with stakeholders, and grow beyond technical expertise, this episode is for you.
