It's engagement you fool! | Alan Heap | TEDxLeamingtonSpa
Alan started his theatre career in community theatre, co-founding Taking Steps, based at the MAC in Birmingham. Following a stint in musical theatre in the West End, Alan joined Circus Burlesque, an all-human touring circus. He then formed a comedy double-act with Mick Wall which included four years of a BBC TV series ‘Dizzy Heights’. Alan also wrote, performed in and directed many music radio and television programmes, including the very popular Music Makers series. Following his successful career in theatre and television, Alan co-founded Purple Monster in 1995 and has developed his particular talent for connecting with audiences of all sizes into a world-class ability for facilitation. This October sees the 20th anniversary of Purple Monster, a company that specialises in employee engagement.

Brilliant Al it'll probably go viral!! A meaningful message presented light heartedly. I remember Harold McMillan once said in an interview "never take yourself too seriously"

+um Thanks. Not all of them perhaps, but lots of them for sure :)
Welcome to my world. The profile picture I have here is the same as on LinkedIn. I really hate those serious people who have no creativity in their mind.
