If that just means creating a great workplace culture, where people actually wake up in the morning and look forward to coming into work and feeling like they're contributing, that's an unbelievably cool feeling."〔 Cody and Moed find that improv comedy increased their ability to listen to clients and infused improv comedy culture into the firm.
