Kerry Leigh was invited to end the Hertfordshire NHS nursing conference with a dynamic session.
We sent delegates off on a high, buzzing with knowledge and useful health tips about the psychology of humour and laughter.
Over 200 delegates, some of whom were new recruits, bonded by sharing their own stories and coping mechanisms. Nurses felt empowered to take responsibility and create a workplace culture that boosts wellbeing.
Here at Laughology, we’re a generous bunch - even if we do say so ourselves - and so in support of Mental Health Week 2021, we’ve put together some fantastic free resources for you.
Lots of you are enjoying our Friday Bursts on social media, but did you know we’ve now added them to our YouTube channel?

Laughologist, Dave Keeling, loves his food and so was tickled pink when asked to run an online session with the inventors of oyster sauce!

In the last twelve months, work patterns have changed beyond recognition. Some new ways of working are for the better, but some mean we are working longer and harder than before, and being less productive.
We know the absence of cinemas and decent films has put a dampener on the last 12 months, but we’ve been able to fill that void with our free learning and development webinars.

A growing menopause awareness across workplaces and organisations is leading to much-needed changes for women experiencing symptoms, but there’s still a long way to go.

Developing and maintaining resilience and positivity in schools as we come out of the Covid era is going to be more important than ever before. Supporting staff to understand what makes them happy and therefore more resilient is a great way to help the whole school community feel more positive as life begins to return to normal.
Home learning has been a challenge for parents across the county. Finding yourself in the role of teacher has been daunting for many, particularly when children start banding around terms like ‘past progressive’ and ‘the grid method’ - which, to our relief, has certainly nothing to do with birth control.

It was with this in mind that Victoria Maitland enjoyed an online visit to students from Cookham Rise Primary in late January, to deliver two virtual, action-packed FLIP-it Thinking sessions for 120 students.

Okay, okay, so it’s only taken us about five years to get our YouTube shizzle together, but we’ve finally immersed ourselves in 21st Century life and got our Laughology Learning and Development channel up and running. Yup, we know your life is now officially fulfilled, but do try to contain yourself.
We love what we do here at Laughology Towers, so you can imagine the excitement when one of our favourite learning partners, Natwest Group, won an award for their amazing wellbeing programme which we were a part of.
Over the last few months, we’ve been working on our diversity agenda and, as part of this, we have created a rebel boardroom. Not another tick-box exercise, I hear you sigh. Well no, actually. On the contrary.
It’s was Time to Talk Day on 4th February and so we’re sharing Kerry Leigh’s top tips on keeping conversation going in the workplace, to support each other’s mental health.
It’s been a busy month for Laughology and Kerry spent a lot of time with The Useful Simple Trust helping them improve their presentation skills. These are people with lots of experience in presenting, with bags of knowledge in their chosen field, but who were keen to increase engagement, particularly given the added online challenge.
