I’m going to start with something that’s going to sound like a joke: What does Life University have in common with improv? I know that I’ve just set myself up for a LOT of punch lines, so please bear with me. I saw an educator’s take on improving the student experience using the rules of improv.

And, like our value set here at Life, all of them involved having a love for people … and being open to relationships and possibilities for creation and growth. I was especially struck by the final rule, which is “Help others shine.” Why? Because, here at Life U, we begin with the assumption that each of us is designed to fully express an inner light or spark of life – and that people will naturally shine unless they’re overwhelmed by interference from trauma, toxins, or toxic thinking.

So, here’s the punchline: Both improv and Life U understand that our purpose is to help others shine…by focusing their inner light so that they can shine as brightly as possible. We don’t always get it right, but we come a lot closer the higher we set our sights.
