In this BA Community webinar, we were joined by Neil Mullarkey, author of ‘Seven Steps to Improve your People Skills‘, actor, and co-founder the world famous improvisation group The Comedy Store Players. Neil’s session was entitled:

Soft Skills, Hard Business
This is a topic that I am sure will resonate with many of us, as the interpersonal element of the BA role is absolutely crucial.

Webinar Description

Neil will talks about the fact that people skills are becoming even more important in the digital world, where face-to-face contact still matters.

Some people feel they might not be great at this stuff but Neil will show how easy tweaks – simple steps as he calls them – can make a big difference.
