TEAM BUILDING SKILLS WORKSHOP

Delivered in a dynamic, interactive style by experts in positive psychology and the neuroscience of learning.

This fun, enlightening and dynamic team-building skills workshop will help organisations understand their working and thinking styles and identify their strengths and the strengths of others. It will open the door to improved teamwork, leadership, customer relationships, creativity and problem-solving.

Outcomes
- Understand personalities
- Team cohesion
- Reinforce identity
- Improve effectiveness
- High performance
Suited to:
- Managers
- Leaders
- All Teams
Delivered as:
- Two hour intro
- Half-day
- Full-day

Teams that don’t gel become fragmented. Conflict and division can arise and relationships can break down. Team cohesion can make or break an organisation and managing an unhappy team can be timely. A team that is fragmented can mean the customer or stakeholder loses out, vital information is missed and ideas don’t develop.

A happy, motivated team, working together with a shared vision and a clear direction however, will be more productive, creative and innovative. Happy teams record less absenteeism, give more discretionary effort and are more likely to remain loyal, working for you and your organisation. Not everyone will always get on, but understanding each other and celebrating strengths and differences is more desirable and productive than division.

FLIP-IT THINKING SKILLS

Delivered in a dynamic, interactive style by experts in positive psychology and the neuroscience of learning.

This FILP-it workshop will increase workplace motivation, resilience and engagement. It shows organisations how to find the positives in situations, embrace challenges, and deal with change and transformation.

Outcomes
- Increase wellbeing
- Promote engagement
- Reduce absenteeism
- Improve retention
- Increase adaptability

Transformation, managing workloads and facing challenge are some of the trickiest things to get right. Most leaders and managers will have been in a situation where teams or individuals feel helpless and struggle with these things, choosing to focus on the negatives. This leads to a range of difficulties, including low motivation, disaffection and lack of engagement.

If you can’t adapt as an organisation, you can’t progress. The best and most productive organisations are the ones where people are encouraged to find the positives in situations rather than fear challenge and fall into patterns of catastrophic thinking. Dealing with change positively is a skill. It develops resilience. Organisations with the ability to do this, record better levels of wellbeing and productivity. Resilient humans are happier and healthier.

I loved the whole session. Everyone was laughing the whole way through. However, I also enjoyed some of the theory behind it all and will really try to use some of the knowledge in my day to day life.

Why it's important to promote wellbeing in the workplace?

There is still a huge stigma around mental illness and we need to banish it. We can only do this by raising awareness, normalising conversations and offering practical support to all employees.

Absenteeism, demotivation and low productivity

Absenteeism, demotivation and low productivity are all issues that arise when wellbeing is ignored and people are treated like cogs in a machine, rather than human beings. Negativity can infect organisations like a virus. And most of the time that’s because leaders have not paid enough attention to wellbeing.

Wellbeing impacts directly on your bottom line

Organisations have a duty of care to make sure their people are supported to be well and happy. Ignore this at your peril. Wellbeing deficient organisations struggle to retain good people, they lose time and resources through sickness and they become problematic and uncompetitive. Wellbeing impacts directly on bottom line. Research proves that higher levels of wellbeing result in contented, productive, creative workers who take fewer sick days, earn more and are valued highly.

Watch Kerry Leigh, one of the mental health workshop facilitators, talk about stress and mental health in the workplace.

Workshop Outline

The workshop will explore techniques to normalise conversations and listen and communicate non-judgementally. And will introduce positive interventions on sign-posting people to the right help and how to develop a resilience toolkit.

What is the difference between mental health and mental illness?

People increasingly talk about mental health and mental illness as interchangeable things. But they’re not. Just as we all have health, we all have mental health.

We can have good mental health, poor mental health or be somewhere in between at any given time. Mental illnesses are health conditions, which involve changes in our thinking, emotions or behaviours.

How are mental health and wellbeing related?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines mental health as ‘a state of wellbeing in which the individual realises his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community’.

Why work with Laughology?

At Laughology, we understand human behaviour, feelings and motivation. Our expertise is delivering taboo and sensitive subjects and exploring issues in an engaging and fun way.

We use humour to break the ice and provide a platform which enables people to have frank, open conversations.

This session is an opportunity to seek out practical ideas which can be taken back to the workplace in order to create a supportive culture around mental health.

In the modern commercial landscape, the disruptor is king and fundamental change can happen in any sector at any time. Touch screens, Uber and austerity are just a few examples of new developments that have had huge impacts on the organisations affected by them. And that impact is not always good – you only need to look at Blackberry, London black cabs and local authority budgets to see what can happen.

Problems come in many shapes and sizes; expansion, contraction, lack of budgets and resources, new competition, personnel challenges, mergers, acquisitions and transformation. All organisations face them eventually, and to cope and conquer they need their people to be innovative and creative problem-solvers. Unfortunately, these are frequently cited as key skills lacking in today’s workplaces.

We're feeling the love!

The facilitator was great, broke down barriers and ensured everyone got involved with the very high energy levels of the presentation, successfully managed to bring some quite reserved people out of their comfort zones.

It was the best session I’ve ever attended. The interactive aspects and exercise to create a product to make us think outside the box were brilliant and I could see how I could use them back in work.

POSITIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING WORKSHOP

Using insights that none of our competitors have, we take delegates through the most effective, dynamic communications workshop in the business, and send you away with an expert understanding and tangible techniques which will turn you in to a master communicator.

Delivered in a dynamic, interactive style by experts in positive psychology and the neuroscience of learning.

Poor communication blocks progress and stifles relationships. If your message is misunderstood or unheard, how are your staff, your clients, your customers or your stakeholders supposed to connect with you? Effective communication is one of the fundamentals every manager and leader needs to master, yet it is commonly cited as one of the skills most lacking in people and organisations.

Getting communication right leads to better relationships throughout an organisation and closer cohesion between people and departments. But positive communication isn’t purely about speaking. It’s about understanding different communication styles, listening, body language, tone, adapting your message to the situation and a myriad of other nuanced factors. Master these and master the art of making yourself understood.

We're feeling the love!

I enjoyed the different style of presentation and the humanness and humour of the facilitator. All participants have fed back that the day was really useful particularly when working across different team’s and being able to have a greater understanding of how to influence and communicate to other styles of working.

As a graduate, it can be intimidating putting your point across in meetings and understanding where to pitch a relationship with a client. I found the theory really useful and practical exercises helped me understand how I would use this in my work

Don't waste your time and effort on running overblown meetings or courses which have no structure or clear objectives.

You can learn to manage groups effectively, bring them together and enable them to be the best they can.

Engaging your audience

We will share with you Scientific and innovative insight into how we access and absorb information, and the importance of emotional engagement in your role as a facilitator, trainer or learning guide.

Confidence, and delivering with passion

Using exercises and interactive theory, we will show you techniques that will help you lead sessions in a way that is confident and assertive while being aware of different personalities in the room and what individuals may need from a facilitator to fully engage and learn.

The learning process

People learn best when they experience a situation for themselves and can relate it to their life. Including discussions and activities within a learning session, encourages understanding. This workshop will teach you how implement learning, what motivates learners, and how to change behaviours.

Ideas and creating original content

The most effective way to learn and teach is to engage people emotionally. The brain works best when positive neuro-transmitters are firing. We will show you, as a facilitator or trainer, if you can help the brain fire through enjoyable and inspiring content – how emotional engagement gets better outcomes.

Teams will have a chance to perform a short presentation to the rest of the team to include what they have learnt and share something about their expertise. Each delegate will also receive electronic resources/links and further information to help them be great trainers and design great sessions going forward.

Fear of public speaking can stall careers while confidence and self-belief boosts them. The ability to connect with people and build rapport, and the art of communicating effectively in challenging situations are repeatedly cited by employees as essential skills for all businesses. Fluffed lines, flat jokes and nervous delivery do not inspire confidence and have lost deals and even jobs.

Master the art of presentation on the other hand and you inspire, engage, motivate and leave a lasting impression.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE SKILLS WORKSHOP

Delivered in a dynamic, interactive style by experts in positive psychology and the neuroscience of learning.

This customer experience skills workshop helps you to design a customer experience programme that is liberating and exciting for managers, front line teams and most importantly customers.

When organisations mess up, there is no place to hide. Customer complaints can go viral and affect turnover catastrophically. In the age of social media bad customer service can make or break an organisation. People are no longer content to settle for a poor customer experience and have a choice of platforms from which to vent their spleens. Consequently, developing good customer experiences has never been more important.

Whether you are a bank, a restaurant chain, a retailer or a call centre, you need to connect with your customers and make sure they are on your side because one bad Amazon review or one-star TripAdvisor rating can ruin years of good practice. However, a great customer experience is not just about dealing with complaints. Organisations which excel at service through making the experience feel easy, fun and effortless build loyalty and customer engagement. Creating a positive, memorable customer experience through conversations as well as technology ensures return business and user satisfaction. It builds a relationship of trust and emotional connections between you and your customers. It also makes work life happier and healthier for your employees.

We're feeling the love!

Built on a solid theoretical basis, Laughology’s work with our customer service team was creative, successful, useful and huge fun. The style is warm, funny and highly engaging – Laughology really practices what it teaches.

Experiential action-learning is used to help delegates refine new skills and embed them into their everyday working practice.

Experiential, action learning works best when there are agreed assignments or a project to take back to everyday working practices. For example the assignment may be; managers are encouraged to recognise, reward and celebrate success or a project such as organising and communicating a managers conference.

This may also translate to a specific challenge a delegate has. At the start of each session – time is put aside to talk through challenge and to encourage peers to join in with supporting ideas to further forward the learning.

Working with ‘live-issues’ in this way embeds learning and helps delegates use the new found skills in a safe way. We also recommend organisations have ‘action-learning’ champions or facilitators for greater success of action learning groups or sets.

Experiential action-Learning works on:
Real problems that are important yet workable
Diverse and creative problem-solving in a team or group
Procesess that promotes curiosity, inquiry, fun and reflection (lead by a learning consultant or champion)
Talk onverted into action and, ultimately, a solution
A commitment to learning.

The half day or full experiential action learning session includes:

UNCONSCIOUS BIAS AND CREATING A DIVERSE WORKFORCE

We are all impelled to prefer people who look like us, act like us and share our interests thanks to neurological process called unconscious bias. Meanwhile, the world is becoming smaller, increasingly diverse and is also half female. This juxtaposition is one of the big problems of modern commerce. Unconscious bias causes us to make subconscious judgments and assessments of people and situations influenced by our background, cultural environment and personal experiences. Unfortunately, it also hinders development and an organisations competitive edge.

Organisations which recognise this and embrace diversity thrive while those which remain stuck in limiting patterns of behaviour miss out on new ideas and opportunities. The first step to true diversity is understanding how unconscious bias works and developing strategies to recognise and overcome it.

It was an extremely interesting session. Learning in a fun environment is a much better way to interact with others. It got people feeling at ease and open up and discuss and people were more honest than usual. It was also a good way to remember new things learnt.
