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.

Resilience and positive mindset can be learned, and Laughology was the first UK L&D consultancy to develop an effective model to help people do this using the proven science of humour and laughter as a cognitive tool. We call this process FLIP, and it forms the basis of our popular Building resilience and positivity. FLIP-It thinking skills workshops. Our FLIP methods enable people to be more optimistic, adaptable and flexible. They help individuals gain a clearer view of future events and influence others in a positive and upbeat way
