Ever Wonder What Happens at a Laughter Team - Building session?

It's funny to watch different personalities respond, some people that might start a bit sceptical, get right into it and others are quite extroverted and they're into it from the beginning. It's fantastic! It's a good innovative idea! I think the laughter session was really good. I attended a more executive type session yesterday - they got a lot out of it. [Ed Note: I ran a separate session tailored to the executive on the previous day]. I think you get a bit of variety from the people's response's in terms of the people that attend, but certainly everyone gets something out of it and it's something new for them and they find it's quite a useful exercise.

Would you recommend laughter sessions for any workplaces that are a bit apprehensive about the whole thing? Definitely! I think that it's a bit left-off-centre; it's a bit left field and I certainly think that it opens your mind a bit, and it gives you a bit of a different method for achieving some of the stress relief and people should give it a go.
