This means spending a lot of your time helping them learn the basics. And while spending time with grads and interns to mentor and coach is important, failing to give them a good start could mean wasting more time than needed.

This is why laughology has put together a series of workshops to help. The workshops below can be taken as stand alone sessions or as part of a programme. We can work with you to slot them into your time table or develop timings around what you would like. Each workshop is one full day but timings can be tweaked to suit.

What people say

The facilitator was great, broke down barriers and ensured everyone got involved with the very high energy levels of the presentation, successfully managed to bring some quite reserved people out of their comfort zones.

It was the best session I’ve ever attended. The interactive aspects and exercise to create a product to make us think outside the box were brilliant and I could see how I could use them back in work.
