Did you know that I’ve been self-employed since 2005? At the time of writing this article, that’s over 15 years of experience, 5 years of which have been in Serious Laughter.  During all of those 15 years I’ve not grown with expertise massively, until the start of the Pandemic of 2020.

Luckily, I love technology and am constantly amazed by the designers of software.  They are clever, aren’t they?  They’re also very creative people.  Are you creative?

Reflecting on the past 2 years…I’ve networked with hundreds of people over the past 2 years.  All online.  What has that taught me, and what has it got to do with Laughter Yoga?

Meeting such a diverse range of networkers, I’ve the confidence to speak to anyone.  I’ve the emotional intelligence to understand how others are feeling (very useful).   However, it can be very dry networking – so I also have the humour and passion to encourage them to smile and laugh.  Somehow, some way, it always happens!

How can I help these professionals?

To think differently.  To be authentic.  To listen carefully.  To help them in their business with my creativity.  Plus, smiling or laughing, they feel relaxed, de-stressed and think clearly to chat to other networkers.  Creating a super positive ripple effect!

Here’s an example of my experience of being creative in a business sense. Recently, I offered my past clients Laughter Yoga workshops (to beat the winter blues and boost immunity) – and guess what – I also had to think differently too. I thought quickly of something new and creative (thanks to my Laughter Yoga practice) and decided to offer Bollywood Laughter Dance too – they accepted!

Another example is where hand puppets were merged into team-building activities.

So it’s good to… think differently.  Be authentic.  Listen carefully.  Be creative.
