Earlier in the autumn we launched a Christmas card competition in our happy-centred schools, and asked the children to design a Christmas card.
We are delighted to announce that Sadia Raham, age 9, from Maple Class in St Matthew’s Primary School in Luton was the winner. Look out for your Christmas card in the post, along with a discount voucher.
So you think you’re funny do you? Now you can test out just how funny you are, while learning new skills, raising money for a very worthy cause and, in some cases, you might even change your life.
It’s fair to say that with so many trained entertainers and stand-up comedians using their expertise to sprinkle Laughology magic across the globe, there’s always a bit of gentle rivalry between Laughologists to see who can get on TV the most.
Laura Drury drove down the M4 last month to deliver a team building session for Pukka in the glorious surroundings of Bristol Botanic Gardens.
Last week Laura Drury received a card in the post. This was not unusual, but the card was. It was from Marie Curie. Laura had delivered a session for them on Mental Health and Wellbeing. The card contained personal messages of thanks and brought a lump to her throat. It was very much appreciated.
During August, Lead Happiness Consultant, Dave Keeling, likes nothing better than slapping on his factor 50, sipping a couple of G&Ts and putting his feet up. But when Vodaphone came calling with the promise of an audience of 200 members of the Youth Communities, made up of graduates, apprentices and industrial placement students, how could he resist?
We have joined up with NatWest to deliver a FREE Menopause session.
We are proud of the programmes we create. We know they are different, fun and innovative, so do our partners and clients. It’s great when others recognise this too.
There’s always plenty in the media about graduates not being work ready, but what does that actually mean?
The NWG Innovation Festival in Newcastle is one of the biggest festivals of innovation in the world.
Tesco Mobile are a growing, fast-paced business and Laughology were invited to deliver a keynote on the Science of Happiness and how this can help the business and its people to grow.
Laura paid a visit to Cambridge at the start of this month to talk to the support and admin teams for Wellcome Sanger Institute, Wellcome Genome Campus Connecting Science, EMBL – EBI, Redgate and Babraham Institute! We needed two sessions to fit everyone in! The subject matters were Communication, Influence and Growth Mindset and she had to engage a bit of the latter on her way to the venue after taking an accidental wrong turn into a traffic jam! Thankfully she arrived on time to the beautiful surroundings of Hinxton Hall.
Those attending this Manchester workshop were varied in their backgrounds and roles but united in their desires to engage with people more when delivering what might be considered ‘dry’ content, and to learn how to manage nerves.
Laughologist Dave Keeling is a professionally trained actor and so was thrilled to be invited to Stratford Upon Avon, home of the Bard. As a young thesp, Dave always wanted to work at the RSC.
It’s Laughology’s mission to make the world a better place and in June we got the opportunity to sprinkle some sparkle over the Far East when we dispatched a team of Laughologist to Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and India. We also visited Germany and Luxembourg.
Laughologist Dave Keeling loves a fridge magnet and so leapt at the chance to hot-foot it to Barcelona for a half-day event with King, the makers of cross-platform app and game sensation Candy Crush.
Lead happiness consultant Dave Keeling likes to think he’s a bit rock’ n ’roll, so he was thrilled to be stepping on stage at O2 Academy Victoria Warehouse, Manchester. Thankfully he chose not to perform his one-man Queen tribute and delivered a one-hour keynote for Autotrader on the psychology of humour and laughter laughter-as-a-personal-development-to) instead.
Laughologists facilitate training sessions all around the world, but, as the song goes, ‘We do like to be beside the seaside.’ That’s why Sarah Creegan was especially happy to head off to Bournemouth for a couple of days to work with the fabulous folk at Organix, a company which has always been committed to supporting and improving the wellbeing of its people.
Like millions of others, Laughology was glued to the TV last month watching Britain’s Got Talent and cheering on Flakefleet Primary School, winners of the Happiest Primary School prize in last year’s National Happiness Awards.
If you fancy some personal learning time with like-minded people, we might just have the event for you. And it’s completely FREE. We are delighted to have been asked by BrainFood to help launch their new get-togethers for learning professionals.
To keep up in the tech world you need to innovate, adapt and think in the future. This can be exhausting, so looking after your people and ensuring they have the right skills is important.
