Taking key tools from both Improv comedy and Stand Up, Laughter On Call’s approach 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 “no wrong answer,” communication, they create a psychologically safe environment where people feel comfortable sharing their ideas, and opening their minds to what is possible beyond the conventional.
“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.”

“The key advice is to recreate social contact using video conferencing, two ways. First, group interactions. For example, the whole group can meet for a 30-minute video chat at 11:00 every day to catch-up on their personal situation, chat about the news or life in general — no work talk.”
