Here at Laughology we put our money where our mouth is.  We believe business should be a force for good, so we’re starting a Happiness Fund, to fund happiness.

September is one of our favourite months because we head out into schools, armed with Curly Wurlys, to deliver INSET day sessions. It all felt a bit extra special this year as we were able to see real-life humans, rather than just faces on a Zoom screen. Nothing beats the smell of a freshly varnished hall floor or the sound of a dozen staplers putting final touches to display boards.

Does the thought of standing up and presenting to a group of people fill you with dread? Are you wondering how to keep everyone engaged and, dare we say it, enjoying themselves? Maybe even laughing at your jokes?

Twelve people were good enough for Jesus, so ten seemed just fine for Lead Happiness Consultant, Dave Keeling, as he was given the pleasurable task of collaborating around the idea of wellbeing with ten graduates from BNP Paribas.

When you have talented people in your organisation, it’s important to build on their strengths so they feel motivated. You’ll then get the very best out of your very best people, encouraging them to stay and increasing your productivity.

Staying positive in challenging times has been difficult for many workplaces and organisations.

Motivating teams post-pandemic can be a challenge. After all, the world has been turned upside down over the past few months.

Mental health has never been more important. Developing sustainable, positive mental health strategies will be one of the biggest challenges faced by organisations as the world adapts to post-pandemic ways of working and learning.

BGF is a UK and Ireland-based investor of equity capital in growth economy companies. Lead Happiness Consultant, Dave Keeling, was invited to do a one hour zoom session for personal assistants and front-of-house team members on Flip-it Thinking, to help their team feel more connected.

DWP were looking at ways to inject a little bit of happiness into the workplace, so they invited Sarah Brown, our Head of People, Programme and Playfulness, to their annual conference to deliver a keynote on the psychology of humour and laughter.

Over the past few months, it’s fair to say we’ve all had moments, even days, of demotivation. Going to meetings in your slippers, staring at the same four walls and endless Zooming has led us all to lose a little oomph.

If you want one, there’s an ‘international day’ for almost everything. Most are made up too, but there’s a few Laughology favourites: Polar Bear Plunge Day, International Buffet Day (who wouldn’t like a buffet everyday?) and International Week of Happiness at Work. A whole week!

To make sure young people have the best chance when they take their next steps into the world, it’s important to equip them with the skills and confidence that go beyond just knowledge.

Summer is upon us! If someone could tell the weather to play its part, that would be great. Meteorology aside, we know that summer is often when organisations have a Learning at Work Week - and we’d love to support you with yours.

At Laughology, we love to spoil you. If it’s not Curly Wurlys and books, it’s free webinars to help you feel happier and more positive. Yup, we know we’re brilliant.

June’s been a fascinating month for Lead Happiness Consultant, Dave Keeling. Not only has he been working with a smorgasbord of organisations (both business and educational), he’s even been allowed to leave his house and see real people in real life.

We love it when new people join the Laughology team, so we were really pleased to welcome Daryl Seager to the bunch recently. Despite the fact that he’s rather unsteady on his feet in icy conditions, he actually brings a number of fantastic skills with him, thanks to his 15 years of experience working with both private and public sector clients.
