Neil Mullarkey on being In The Moment


Listen Later

How can we be more in the moment in meetings, conversations and presentations? On this episode, I'm speaking to communications expert and comedian Neil Mullarkey.

In his new book 'In The Moment', Neil explores how we can use the ideas that underpin improv comedy to improve our confidence, communication and creativity.

In our discussion, we explore:

  • how Neil came to work in Improv Comedy, how Mike Myers inspired his career and why he enjoys improvisation;
  • how that translates into working in business to build creativity;
  • the need for structures such as rules, methodologies and processes in order for creativity to be able to flourish;
  • the difference between Newtonian and Darwinian dynamics in the workplace;
  • lessons from the pandemic about working practices;
And so much more...
