Professional Development with Gibberish

So. Gibberish.

There are numerous ways of viewing Gibberish and mostly it has been as totaly nonsense spoken by toddlers . However, Gibberish has become a powerful tool for improving communication skills and for developing emotional intelligence.

The 1-day Certified Gibberish Training teaches all the priciples and the background for this extraordinary technique for tackling communication challenges, stress levels, performance issues and much more. However, it is also ideal for half-day workshop for team building and workplace co-operation across teams as well as management.

IMG 1037 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenIn Gibberish we let go of being right and being in control – things that many people find a real challenge in life and at work. Why? Because it may leave us vulnerable and at risk of being taken less seriously if we make errors.

Powerful communication is not about who shouts the loudest or who bosses who around and not even about being right or wrong. It is about mutual understanding of the situation that is being relayed and empowering the involved parties to take action or resolve the situation or just be with ‘what is so’.

Many people who have learned Gibberish techniques admit to having, at least once in their lifetime, said something that was hurtful or that they wish was unsaid. When turning to Gibberish in arguments the shredding words that we often regret after the discussion do not occur.

Only emotions are being expressed along with un-understandable nonsense. It is a release of pent up feelings of anger, wrong, frustration, upset, as well as being a tool for expressing joy and love.

An excellent training day as well as a superb workshop for businesses and organisations.

There are currently three 1-day Certified Gibberish Trainings scheduled:

  • 7 March 2015, 10am to 5pm, Aboyne Lodge School, St. Albans
  • 16 May 2015, 10am to 5pm, Alington House, Durham
  • 27 June 2015, 10am to 5pm, London College for Scholars, London

Laughter Yoga for Health and Happiness

IMAG0041 - Corporate Laughter Yoga Training & Workshop Specialists in the UK | Corporate Wellness & Workplace Wellbeing Programmes, Trainings & Workshops in London UK with Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte MikkelsenIn 2010 I launched Laughter Yoga International’s 8-week One-On-One Laughter Coaching programme in the UK. It had been introduced a little earlier in India where Dr. Madan Kataria worked with client on a one-on-one basis and I was moved by the story of a young girl who had been living with MS for almost 10 years and the benefits she felt after only one session was truly inspiring.

Laughter Yoga is not just for people with physical health conditions to cope with, it is for people who want a wee bit extra in their lives in terms of positivity, joy, and happiness, as well as those who want to recover from physical, mental or emotional challenges.

In workplaces there is often a huge amount of stress on everbody in the organisation to perform and deliver results.
