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.
With Lockdown 2.0 and the myriad of COVID-19 restrictions and regulations in place, it can feel hard to adopt a growth mindset at the moment.
As the country enters a second lockdown, many people will struggle with the new restrictions imposed during the weeks ahead. Here at Laughology, we know how important it is to keep a growth mindset during challenging times and to use FLIP-it Thinking to turn negative thoughts to positive.
2020 has been a tough year and sometimes it’s hard to find positives. But there is a simple, affordable antidote to the negativity... kindness.
Lead Happiness Consultant, Dave Keeling, is an excitable man at the best of times, so he was thrilled to be given the challenge to deliver a 30-minute webinar for Corenet Global, with 100 corporate real estate executives - it normally takes him 30 minutes to introduce himself!
Stephanie Davies, Laughology’s CEO, wasn’t even born in 1977 when Autotrader first started. But we all remember the magazine. In fact, Stephanie used to flick through it with her friends and point out which car she wanted when she was older. She was never a Just 17 or Jackie kind of girl.
Here at Laughology, we’re constantly improving our diversity and the way we work. As part of our commitment to bringing more diversity to our team this year, we’re recruiting a Rebel Boardroom - a group of people who will help us think differently.
What do you get when you cross HR experts with L&D experts? No, it’s not a joke and if it was it would be the worst Christmas cracker gag in the history of Christmas. The answer is an online event called Virtually Happy.
As the corona virus continues to spread, increasing numbers of people are working remotely from home. Some are self-isolating. And, as we write this, it seems increasingly likely that, during the coming weeks, the government will put in more stringent measures to further curtail movement. As a result of these circumstances, many concerned businesses find themselves in uncharted waters.
Remember the Personnel Department? It was the place people used to go if they needed a new chair, or a P60. Or to complain about Ian from IT.
Here at Laughology, we like to help people think differently about the menopause, particularly when it comes to symptoms and support in the workplace. And with October being World Menopause Month, we thought it was a good opportunity to share our knowledge and expertise with you to get the conversation going.
Victoria Maitland visited Fazakerley High School in early September to spend a full day working with the new cohort of year 7s.
After several months of delivering online sessions, Sarah Creegan was very excited to facilitate two face-to-face INSET days at the beginning of September. She did insist, however, that both schools have the same name. Which, luckily, they did!
Broadsquare Community Primary in Liverpool is becoming a Happy Centred School, and chose to have an introduction to the Laughology PSHE programme on their September INSET day.
First gig back in September and Lead Happiness Consultant, Dave Keeling, was thrilled that he only had to travel 6 miles down the road - he’s only just got used to having a lie in!
Some organisations have continued to recruit and grow through the pandemic. Tesco brand team is an example.

As a teacher, the idea of creating a happy classroom is normally at the top of our agenda.
