Building a better understanding with Foster & Partners

Written on . Posted in Laughology News

Laughology was honoured to be asked to deliver a session to the creative geniuses at world-renown architectural firm Foster and Partners. Each quarter, the London-based business invites an inspirational speaker to deliver a keynote speech to its staff.

Foster partners 2Foster + Partners is one of the most innovative architecture and integrated design practices in the world.

Usually speakers at the events are drawn from the architecture and construction sectors. However, as is our custom, Laughology broke the mould to deliver a presentation on The Science of Happiness and why it is important in organisations for creativity. It was something new for the company, and attracted a full house. Feedback has been excellent so hopefully we will be doing some more sessions with them.
