CIPD: Embrace the Bumps

Posted in Learning & Development.

Embrace the Bumps

It was great to be invited to be part of CIPD's student conference this year. I hope you enjoyed the the closing keynote: Embrace the Bumps – Growth Mindset for Facing Change.

Part of my contractual obligation is to make you laugh, so let me know if I fulfilled my contract. Even though I only had half an hour with you,

I hope it was a good introduction to some ideas that will help you to embrace the flux of modern life and help you flourish and thrive in the future. With some additional top tips to mentally prepare you for change and to see challenges as opportunities, using a little laughter in the process.

To help expand on the topic, I’ve also provided some additional resources that you can access here. Enjoy the keynote and please get in touch with any questions... and praise.

Transformation support

Posted in Learning & Development.

Transformation support programme

Transformation and change is often the most challenging part of an organisation’s development.

Laughology transformation and change support programmes are designed to make any process smoother, and create positive outcomes for you and your people.

We have a forensic understanding of the psychology of change and use this expertise to help you set clear pathways towards your organisation’s goals and visions.

We will work with you and your transformation programme team to define a clear change structure and deliver techniques to enable positive mindsets and behaviours. We give leadership and management the capabilities needed to support and coach. We use our expertise in behaviour change, motivation, presentation and communication to help you and your people become flexible thinking, change ninjas who can adapt as quickly as your organisation needs. We will deliver skills that will help your people develop resilience and problem-solving skills and positively shift mindset and behaviour.

We have a 7 staged approach to support your transformation through a shift in mindset and behaviour. While each of our programmes are unique to the organisation. We know transformation works best when it’s structured and collaborative. Through rigorous experience we have designed a staged approach.

THE SEVEN STAGES OF TRANSFORMATION SUPPORT

  • Collaboratively building a structure and mapping

    Getting to know you, your organisation and your vision. We discuss your expectations and where you want to go and identify the goals you wish to achieve along the way.

  • Exploration and understanding your culture

    Using insights and getting to know your people and culture, we will find out more about the whole organisation and suggest ideas based on our expertise.

  • Winning hearts and minds and engaging your people

    Using the unique Laughology fun, upbeat and interactive approach, we will help you create a narrative and plan communications with teams to get them on board using evidence and fact-based information from our insights.

  • Design

    We will design an inspiring programme and work with you every step of the way to fit with your vision. We recommend growth mindset and resilience as part of most programmes to help shift mindset and get people ready to take on new challenges. We will also recommend further development areas based on our understanding from your team.

  • Inspire, deliver and develop. Accentuate the positive

    We will implement the programme, taking you, your people and organisation on a fun, liberating, effective and science-based journey. The programme can be multifaceted and multilevel and we will help with reach depending in the size of the organisation.

    It will be as unique as your organisation. We will communicate effectively details of the journey and why it is happening, positioning this in a positive way - which is key to the success of delivery.

  • Impact assessment

    We suggest a repeat of any qualitative and quantitative assessments carried out during the diagnostic phase. This should provide a tangible and relevant delta to the baseline diagnostics insights in addition to any other feedback mechanisms your organisation uses to capture experiences specifically related to the programme outcomes.

  • Post programme review

    Reviews will be held with lead teams and case study groups to identify lessons learned and agree next steps for the organisation. These next steps can include possible follow-up interventions, communications to the business on the success of the programme to help people map their own journeys.

Stephanie Davies

Stephanie was invited to VMO2 for Dyslexia awareness week to share her story about being Dyslexic. Watch her 30-minute comedy talk here. VMO2 were keen for the talk to be more in Stephanie’s traditional comedy style, as in her own words this is what Dyslexia gave her. A unique way of seeing the world that turns ideas on their head and makes the way she sees things a little funnier.
