Are you having a laugh?

Barnardo's ran on an interesting event about Laughology last week.

Guest speaker Stephanie Davies, Creative Director and Founder of Laughology, followed with a talk about "Laughing Matters - The psychology of humour".




With The talk was quite inspirational and tackled the serious topics like productivity, self-esteem, communication, and stress amongst others.

Stephanie, who has over 10 years of experience under her belt, with humour and easy-to-relate-to examples managed to put across a strong message on how Laughology and humour can help with or even overcome difficult situations being on a personal or professional level.

This is what Laughology is claiming to help with:
  • reduce stress, enhance general health and well-being,
  • improve performance, communication and presentation skills,
  • boost creativity and productivity,
  • encourage learning and increase retention,
  • manage pain and encourage positive thinking,
  • build self-esteem and confidence, and
  • strengthen and improve relationships.
Humour is important in the workplace. Humour helps creating stronger bonds with employees, people and friends, lowering stress levels, developing friendlier and a more pleasant working environment.

We know that already at Whale Marketing and we are always making sure we are having a whale of a time with our staff and our clients!
