Occupational Philosophers (podcast)
What is ‘adaptive leadership’? What does it have to do with curiosity? Why should leaders embrace humility? Where does improv fit in?
These are just some of the topics we dive into with the very entertaining Neil Mullarkey, all with a side order of some good fun.
Neil is our first return guest on the show and is more amusing than ever.
Amongst many other things, Neil co-founded the world-famous improvisation group The Comedy Store Players in the UK with Mike Myers, later appearing with him in the fabulous Austin Powers movies….who can forget “This sort of thing is my bag baby”...and more recently with Mike Myers in the Pentaverate, sporting a lovely moustache.
He is the published author of ‘Seven Steps to Improve Your People Skills’, and the more recent, ‘In the Moment ‘- both great books and highly recommended
