SO many words in our world! It’s easy to not hear them all, or just get in the habit of using the same ones.

Strong communication is one of the things that will get us noticed and understood in this world, one of the reasons for this series.

Every week,  the refreshed home looks at a regular word we may take for granted, and gives it a  moment in the limelight. This Word Of The Week is IMPROVISE.

From the Latin improvisus, meaning literally unseen, and the Italian improvvsio, meaning sudden, to be able to IMPROVISE is really quite a skill.

Unlike PLAN B,  IMPROVISE is not a back-up.

It’s UNPLANNED,  PRO-ACTIVE,  and demonstrates LEADERSHIP.   It arrives and takes action: ASSESSING, CREATING, DOING, and then GETTING ON WITH THINGS.

 IMPROVISE is FLEXIBLE, and CLEVER.  It does not lose sight of the task at hand.

It is not perfection, but always goes for the BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS  under the circumstances.

 IMPROVISE‘s ditzy, less hands-on distant cousin is WINGING-IT.

IMPROVISE is NOT AT   ALL  PASSIVE,  and much more VESTED IN THE RESULTS.

 Because modern life is what it is, the unexpected happens to us all. Don’t “make  do”-be sure to take full credit for IMPROVISING!!
