Last Friday, our free monthly webinar – Happy Talk – was due to take place, with Laughologist, Kerry Leigh ready to share her fantastic tips with an audience of nearly 200 people.
But on Friday morning, Kerry had a minor medical emergency and couldn’t get out of bed due to a bad back. We tried to make it work – including some rather interesting setups for Kerry to feel more comfortable, but in the end, we decided to cancel it.
Laughology HQ hastily sent out an email to all registered participants to let them know the situation – and the response was brilliant! Many of you got in touch to say how fantastically refreshing it was for us to put Kerry’s health ahead of a free session. In fact, our L&D coordinator, Doug, said it was one of the best responses to an email we’ve ever had!
So why are we telling you this? Just to blow our own email response trumpet? Well if it was up to Doug, possibly…
But actually, it’s to remind you how important it is to walk the walk when it comes to happiness and wellbeing at work. And for that to happen in business, sometimes you have to be brave and make difficult decisions.
Here at Laughology, our people come first. There are plenty more webinars but only one Kerry. And when she’s back in tip-top shape, we’ll run the webinar again. No harm done. We may talk the talk – to thousands of people each year – but we’re committed to walking the walk too.
Are you?
