Biography
Neil Denny is an international speaker, author and recovering lawyer.
He is known for his highly engaging keynotes and workshops exploring issues of conflict, communication and how they get in the way of business and personal progress.
In the words of one booker "He was so good we had to turn the lights off to get people to leave!"
His 2009 book, Collaborative Riffs, Creating Meaning Out of Conflict, proved to be his way into the North American market where he now regularly addresses professional conferences and organisational events and retreats.
His latest product, Get Artisan was originally comissioned for the the 4th European Collaborative Conference in June 2012, where it stole the show.
It provided an aspirational language and framework for the whole weekend event and the rallying cry, to Get Artisan in our work has since developed into a motivational tour de force, inspring audiences across the UK,, North America and Europe.
The model encourages professionals to look to the Artisan craftsperson and explore how the Artisan Code of connection, complexity and autonomy can transform their own work and business.

Conversational Riffs; Creating Meaning Out Of Conflict Through Dialogue
Conversational Riffs breaks down conflict dialogues into distinct parts, called Riffs. We tend to use only three riffs, namely the attack, defence and counter-attack. We need to broaden our repertoire. This talk suggests we practice better riffs, such as invitation, encouragement, acknowledgement, agreement, agreeing differences and solutions. This talk is a serious look at how we need to take responsibility for how we ourselves contribute to conflict - and how we can influence better conflict outcomes by choosing different responses. It is peppered with humour and "Safe" low level conflicts that delegates can easily relate to in their own lives. For an example see http://www.dolectures.com/lectures/how-to-enable-conflict
