Comedy Matters in...
Business
'Humour acts like glue – it attracts and binds people together.'
The business community and leaders can all benefit from bringing more appropriate humour to work.
One of the top qualities of business leaders is a strong, relative and relatable sense of humour. Developing a positive style of humour and storytelling skills can support charisma and likeability – qualities that most stand up comedians possess. Comedians ask questions and find surprising and laugh-out-loud answers, and comedy in almost anything – a positive quality when dealing with stress and conflict.

FUNNY BUSINESS
“Humour, used skilfully, greases the management wheels. It reduces hostility, defeats criticism, relieves tension, improves morale and helps communicate difficult messages.” – Fabio Sala Ph.D
Maggie's innovative workshops use the principles of improvisation, clowning and mindfulness to make a tangible difference to team leaders and team members.
For individuals and organisations searching for something different, clowning techniques and improvisation can open doors for growth and change. All that is required is a willingness to say “yes”. By ‘letting go’, improvising and playing we dispel fears around foolishness and tap into the strength of vulnerability.
Fear is often the biggest block to public speaking and can stifle creativity, innovation and growth.
Humour has an impact upon our health. It can help reduce anxiety and stress levels and equip us to deal with anger, sadness, and fear. The workshops focus on using laughter to build emotional resilience.
People are more likely to form both personal and business connections with a person who can make them smile. Thus, play and humour are potent forces for creative thinking and productivity.
The workshops are designed to:
Build confidence, creativity, communication skills and autonomy.
