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.

At Laughology we love a good laugh and we love it, even more, when we can do some good whilst having a laugh. We pride ourselves on our super-power ability to make others laugh for good, and last month we exercised this to its full effect when we trained some of the brilliant people at the Red Cross in stand-up comedy skills for a fundraiser. 

The National Happiness Awards is a non-profit event which recognises and honours the happiest people and places in the UK.

Plans are underway for Independent Thinking and learning’s biggest ever Big Day Out to celebrate their 25th birthday.

Like a lot of organisations that believe in development, St James’s PlacePlace has sent its people on their fair share of presentation skills courses and workshops. But they wanted something different and better, which is why they called in Laughology.

The Laughologists were out and about across the country delivering INSET days in schools at the start of Summer term. Unsurprisingly, most of the schools we visited wanted a particular focus on wellbeing.

Just when Lead Happiness Consultant, Dave Keeling, thought he had played every venue in the UK he got an invite from Scottish Water to speak in the Budongo Lecture Theatre, which is located in the middle of the Chimpanzee House at Edinburgh Zoo.
