Humour Worx initiatives aim to combat stress in the workplace. The benefits include measurable improvements in teamwork, communication, morale, stress levels and staff retention. Basically, happy people learn more quickly when given new tasks, indeed, teams that play together stay together! The research into what humour and laughter do to our physical systems is well established. This training may be for you and it does not matter what your background is, the only people Humour Worx cannot work with at present are dead!

So many research papers and books tell us of the positive effects of laughter. Apparently 20 minutes of laughter is equivalent to 20 minutes of physical activity, likened to an inner form of jogging. It may well act as a buffer against day to day stressful perceptions. However, laughter is not easy to come by in our mixed up fear driven world. Consequently Humour Worx sets out to challenge our sometimes negative mind-sets and self-limiting beliefs.

Humour Worx is more than a brand name, indeed it is a small shed at the top of my garden, next to the chicken run. It is my laughter lab, a real place where humorous ideas are created. Furthermore the system that co-ordinates the assemblage of the transforming parts of Humour Worx is Thought Provoking Dialogue, which is the glue.

Humour Worx main objective is to expand the toolbox of anyone in an organisation involved in creative change work. Therefore I challenge you to to test out my way of changing, it's tough and is not a "one size fits all" and may not be for everyone.

Hopefully the only side effect will be laughter the sound of victory!
