Authenticity training

Please laugh!

Workers communication / Team building / Manager motivation

Gouda's International Clown School offers: workshops for professionals

Finding ways to motivate your employees when there are many targets to reach.

Often trainings are focused on becoming better. Looking at things that are not functioning or challenges in a team. We will have our focus on opening our eyes and learn to look at many things in a different way. A very serious way: humor!

Make the company shine like never before and come back to the roots. Not with a lot of talking but a lot of fun!

When pleasure is back in all layers of a system, the problems seem to disappear or get a new perspective. Sometimes they become unimportant.

Seeing who we really are is looking at the human being behind a role, a desk or a status.

Humor relieves tension and strengthens the solidarity in a team. Communication becomes the key to a stronger team.

It is proven that laughter is healthy. It produces endorphin and makes work feel like 'a big Yes!' Humor is a promising method to use for better communication.

How can we integrate the authenticity of who we are and the sense of humor?

We will look at effective ways for average working days.

Every group has, of course, its own needs because of the history of a company. What makes your company/team unique?

A specialist authentic trainer(s) will lead the workshop.

Most important ingredients are:

* Authenticity
* Mindfulness
* Having no plans
* Here and Now
* Wondering/imagination/fantasy
* Being bored
* Humor
* Listening
* Contact
* Non-verbal communication

Main goals are:

Being who we are in the most comfortable way, with lots of laughter.

Finding ways. Looking at situations as a challenge, rather than as a problem. This means finding creative solutions for everyday life.

Looking at mistakes as presents/gifts for learning and growing.

Teambuilding

We all feel more comfortable at places where there's a lot of fun.

When pressure decreases, stress relieves.

Seeing meeting each other in a new way.

There are often many patterns in working groups. Many are good and some might need some refreshment; for example seeing an expression on the face off your colleague... sometimes we can be surprised!

How not to see a day as 'an okay-day' but really make it into the best day possible! We are colleagues, often working at the same place and it is a very big part of our live that we spent together. So why not create the best day possible?

How do we deal with conflicts? What role can humor play?

What is personal and what is work-related? Do we need to separate the two?

When there is a lot of tension at your working place, humor is necessary.
