Laughter Yoga in the Business World

People often ask me “How do I get Laughter Yoga opportunities in the Corporate or Business World”. I tell them that it’s easy. Identify their pain and ease it. “Where do we find this information” they then ask…easy again. Look in the newspapers. An article in The Australian on the 28th January detailed that Workplace Bullying is costing more that $15 billion per annum. Now there’s an opportunity for us if ever I’ve seen one. People who conduct themselves in this way quite simply are not happy…usually with themselves. Can Laughter Yoga address this…yes ! ! !

Problem Cause Solution

So with this information in mind you need to have the conversation with the business as to whether this is an issue with their organization. If it is you then need to uncover why this is happening. Once you’ve done this you can then determine how Laughter Yoga can solve this cause. If it can, set a date and time…if it can’t laugh and walk away. Leave your details with them and tell them to call you next time they need a “business pain doctor”

Keynote Workshop or Program

If you do get the gig you now need to decide how are you going to present Laughter Yoga to them. Essentially you have three options. 1. You can do a keynote for one hour or less…a workshop for three to four hours…or an on going program over a series of visits. Be clear about what you are trying to achieve and how they can measure the impact of your program and then “go for it”. If you have a specific application that you need some help with please contact me at any stage. I’d be only too happy to help

Sydney Comedy Festival Update

Our meeting between all of the Sydney Comedy Festival Partners last Thursday went GRRREAT. This will possibly be one of the most exciting, ambitious, and “out there” projects ever undertaken by Laughter Yoga in Australia so if you would like to register to participate send me an email NOW. I have a flier with all the details ready that I will send to you

Website Update

In order to improve our communication flow and support, I have gathered the support of a team of folks to assist me in every state, and in the case of NZ every island. We want to improve the number of clubs listed, events which are happening, and number of folks receiving the newsletter. Please be as proactive as you can to assist us in this endeavor as it will help us to grow the Laughter Community and work toward our vision of World Peace through Laughter.
