In synthesizing the best of what Improv comedy and Stand Up offer, Laughter On Call’s work encourages people – through games and exercises- to express themselves authentically and to free their imagination. We create a respectful space and make a point of distinguishing between laughing at people, which is not allowed, and laughing with people, which we celebrate. When teams establish this kind of communication, they create a psychologically safe environment where everyone can feel comfortable sharing their ideas, even imperfect ones, and see how that might lead them to other, even more innovative ideas.
“98% of CEO’s say they prefer candidates with a sense of humor. Humor connects people by building trust, diffusing tension, and creates positive shared experiences that bring people closer together.”
