I just wanted to write and thank you for running the course for me the other day. It never ceases to amaze me the impact that it has on people. It is such a genuine course backed up by years of experience in understanding people, emotions and body language. As I said to you prior to the session it was a key part of a plan to develop the team I am working with. They interface across the whole business and heavily in to the external world and the day has allowed them to develop better understandings of how to sell, negotiate etc....in fact I found myself being 'Mullarkeyed' the other day by one of them such is the impact. Thanks again and we will be looking to have you back again in the early New Year to follow up.

"Delegates were particularly impressed by your thought-provoking sessions. It was very interesting to watch everyone's reactions as delegates became more and more engaged. It certainly encouraged people to think more about their behaviours and the effects on other people."

"We were delighted to have Neil share a session at our off-site. His session helped us to examine the way we interact with others in a positive and entertaining way. He highlighted the power of stories and how to build on the outputs of others. The end result was a challenging, thought provoking and highly entertaining session. Neil is truly a Master in his trade and we look forward to him joining us again in the future."
Lynn S O'Connor, Organisational Development Manager
"It was great to meet you last week at our HSBC OD Offsite. The highlight was the improv session and it is still being talked about!"

"The evening with Neil Mullarkey was fantastic! It's always fun to do something different and this event certainly offered you that! The session was informal and most importantly on your doorstep!"
"It's a fantastic opportunity to learn improvisation from the master! It was a really fun session, bringing to life the ever important skill of thinking on your feet in a way you couldn't imagine."
"I found the evening to be interesting and an entertaining way to work on our improvisation skills, which in turn could then be put to good use in our day to day working lives."
"A fun approach to a serious subject that engaged me with everyone & developed new skills at the same time."
"Neil Mullarkey's improvisation was a fun, inspiring and energetic approach to clearing the cobwebs and thinking out of the box."
KAE: Marketing Intelligence
A friend told me that a workshop he did with Neil Mullarkey some years ago which was the best day's consultancy training he'd ever had. Having now taken part in one of his workshops I'd completely agree!

The participants loved the session. The timing was excellent -- it came exactly at the time in the 2 weeks when they needed something different and fresh. I'll send you a "save the date" for next year as soon as I come up for air . . . Thanks again. You were great.
Ogilvy Advertising
Great session, thank you. It really did achieve exactly what we wanted - broke down barriers, helped bring everyone together for the rest of the away day and importantly people took something very positive out of the training which will really help us all. You were spot on.

Thank you so much for such a fantastic session at our recent sales conference; our plan was that people left the conference after two days on a real high and they did just that! I have has several emails since from delegates with really positive comments about what they took away from your session. Hope to see you again next year.

Delight as ever to work with you and watch an artisan at work. They had great sessions the next day where they could really see offers and blocking at work. I think they were quite surprised at their everyday occurrence... thank you for your consistency, generosity and professionalism. Look forward to the next time
BBC Worldwide
The level of pitches was actually terrific and I put that down at least in part to you inspiring people and getting them limbered up earlier. It was actually a very good day and we have had only positive response which is great...so thanks as ever!

Ever since attending Neil's seminar, I've been reciting some of the lessons that I learned: Lessons that would apply in ANY public facing session. It doesn't necessarily need to be a room full of people. click for more

I hear people saying they have 'done a Neil Mullarkey' meaning that they've taken a different approach to a presentation - less formality and more passion and connection with their audience. click for more

Neil took a class of 108 Cambridge MBA's - hard-nosed, rational and highly sceptical about their individual ability to create - and transformed them... click for more

Neil's disarmingly charming approach masks a razor sharp wit and intellect - of course, the very essence of the Improv professional - as he leads, teases, coaches and cajoles his teams through the real life learnings that are oh-so cleverly disguised as theatre. click for more
UNILEVER (Netherlands)
I thought your part of the course was great, a very good and funny way to get some crucial points across. Also the Comedy Store Players were absolutely brilliant! I had seen stand-up comedy before but this was obviously quite different and much more impressive.
