    Episode 19: The Linklaters Ideas Foundry Speakers: Neil Mullarkey and Ian Rodwell We rarely consider the power of humour and laughter in the workplace. But the evidence shows that not only can it make us feel more connected but it can also supercharge performance and creativity. So who better than Neil Mullarkey, one of the world's most experienced and accomplished improv performers and a veteran of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway' and two Austen Powers movies, to talk about why laughter can, indeed, be the best medicine. Drawing on Neil's extensive work with business organisations and his book, ‘In the moment', we discuss how improv can improve our ability to listen, notice and be curious – skills that lie at the heart of so many organisational activities such as leading, negotiating, coaching and collaborating. We also investigate why moments matter, the role of trust and how getting off the lift at the wrong floor can sometimes be a clever thing to do.

    Episode 1 Relaxations of bankers' bonus rules - What's proposed and how to prepare The PRA and FCA are consulting on new proposals to relax some of the remuneration pay rules for senior staff at banks and making the regime more flexible and proportionate. The changes would reduce the number of material risk takers (MRTs), simplify the tests for identifying them, and ease restrictions on paying out bonuses. At the same time, the regulators propose to strengthen MRTs' accountability through pay outcomes. This podcast considers the proposals and their likely impact, and what you need to do to prepare for the new regime.
