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.
Our leadership team meetings have more energy and imagination, as though Neil has given people permission to think and act differently. We have been trying to get people to think this way for a while, but somehow Neil persuaded them!
We often use the 'Yes, And' technique. Even when we don't do it overtly, we often hear people stop themselves and change tack, saying, "I mean 'Yes, And' ..." It has made people think about the positive aspects of a situation.
This is really important to the work we are doing on culture change. Even our 'Word-At-A-Time Story' has left its mark.
All those involved know what we mean if we mention 'Neil's Story'
