My name is Max. I once sold a date with me on Groupon. A thousand people bought it. But that cannot be my LinkedIn bio.🔶 I am Director of Hoopla! – the UK’s first ever improvisation theatre and training centre. We believe improvisation is THE crucial skill in the modern economy and we teach it to around 100 corporate clients a year. 👉 But really, I am a writer. Of books like Billy No Mates – currently being adapted for TV. But really, I am speaker – for brands like Esquire or Heinz. But really, I am a performer – of something like 2000+ live comedy shows. But really, I am a radio presenter, or I used to be – for Absolute Radio. But really, I am probably the world’s foremost authority about male friendship. Life is too complex for a bio. So, simply put, my work is about connection. 💡 I connect teams to each other, so they build relationships and collaborate effectively. 💡 I connect brands to their audience, internal or external, so they win business and drive the change they want to see. 💡 I connect leaders to themselves, so that they can deliver results through their relationships as well as their ‘expertise.’Here’s what clients say I bring to my work…⚡ Big ENERGY: I get rooms going.⚡ A sense of HUMOUR: I make laughter part of the experience. ⚡ Relentless CURIOISITY: I ask good questions and love joining the dots. Here are examples of my impact…👉 NSG Group asked me to deliver my Improvisational Leader workshops as part of their global Executive Development programme. 👉 Aviva asked me to design and deliver ongoing workshops to bring to life their Customer Experience Principles. I delivered these across the business in the UK, Ireland, Canada and online. The overall programme won in the Employee Engagement and Experience category at The Marketing Society Awards.👉 Accenture asked me to design and deliver an onboarding programme so that all their grads were engaged in the pre-joiner phase and equipped with the soft skills required to have an impact with clients from Day One. Perhaps my next collaboration could be with you?
