About this event

We’re often being told that our training was ‘much more fun than I thought it was going to be’.

Why?

First, because lots of corporate training is dull.

Second, because we try hard to make it that way. In fact, there’s a lot of behavioural science behind why the same techniques work in comedy and training.

And that matters, because if you enjoy something, what you learn’s more likely to stick. Fact.

So, join us for breakfast and we’ll share a boatload of those tricks, and the psychology behind them.

Neil Taylor, Director or Training

Neil spends his life running workshops on communication – all over the world. His mum once said, ‘Your job is just showing off really, isn’t it?’

He’s the author of Brilliant Business Writing, and has helped everyone from Cabinet ministers and CEOs to call centre workers express themselves better in writing, presentations and stories. (Oh, and his tombstone will say: he named Ocado.)

Neil Mullarkey, Comedy and improv guru

(Yes, Mullarkey is his real name). You might recognise him from ‘Whose Line Is it Anyway’ and two ‘Austin Powers’ movies. He still performs most weeks with the Comedy Store Players, Europe’s top improv troupe, which he co-founded with Mike Myers, and who feature in the Guinness Book of Records for their longevity.

He’s travelled to 25 countries sharing the skills of comedy and theatre, focusing on creativity, collaboration and communication. His latest book, ‘In The Moment’ was shortlisted for the 2024 Business Book Awards.
