Ted Lasso on the Power of Yes, And…
“Taking what's given to you and building on it — that's what 'Yes, and…' is all about. It's not just improv. It's how you build something together.”
This past weekend at the ModMed Momentum conference, keynote speaker and soccer legend Abby Wambach reminded us of the transformative power of saying 'Yes, and…' instead of 'No' or 'But.' As our team — Kristen, Michelle, Sabrina, Sam, and I — walked back to our booth, we realized Ted Lasso had already shown us the same truth. 'Yes, and…' doesn't just keep the conversation moving. It builds on another's ideas, signals respect, and creates momentum. Whether you're on a soccer pitch, a conference floor, or in a sales conversation, the words you choose shape what's possible next.
