Why Laughter Pays Off
Dr. Patricia Bulsing, psychologist and expert in emotions and perception, and Sanne van Zoest, laughter specialist who has made about 25,000 people laugh, have delved into the fascinating world of laughter.
Our consultants would be happy to advise you on how best to tailor the narrative to your specific target audience.
Patricia Bulsing has always been interested in the emotions of others, so it was only logical that she obtained her master’s degree in Cognitive Psychology at Leiden University in 2004, with a specialization in Neuropsychology.
Between 2004 and 2009, she worked on her doctoral research at Utrecht University, studying the influence of expectations on scent perception. She then spent about seven years at Unilever and now brightens things up as a lecturer and researcher at The Hague University of Applied Sciences in the field of nutrition and psychology.
A marriage to a laughter specialist and a love for clearly and enthusiastically explaining the wonders of the brain and science proved to be a perfect mix and fertile ground for a wonderful new interest: talking about the importance of laughter!
Laughter is seriously important!
Sanne van Zoest has been laughing since 2010 on behalf of her company Alles Lach. Sanne enjoys working with people. She laughs a lot and loves to do so. What could be better than making a career out of a combination of the two? Laughing with people! She wants to inspire you and make you laugh. Teach you something and perhaps even give you something for the future…
A Trainer’s course at ICM Opleiding & Trainingen, a course in Positive Psychology, and an intensive course with Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder and creator of the concept “laughter without reason,” in India have provided theoretical knowledge, certificates, and diplomas.
Sanne’s expertise and immense passion for everything related to positivism, optimism, and laughter provide additional knowledge. Her enthusiasm and cheerfulness are contagious. This makes her a dream laughter coach and a true laughter specialist.
Do you want to gain more insight into the power of laughter within your organisation? Or surprise your colleagues with a fresh perspective on something everyday that we actually don’t think about enough?
Dr Patricia Bulsing, psychologist and expert in emotions and perception, and Sanne van Zoest, laughter specialist who has already made about 25,000 people laugh, have delved into the fascinating world of laughter. Because laughter is so natural, but why do we do it less as adults than as children? And how do you strategically use laughter in communication?
During this experience, you will discover why laughter is not only healthy but also a powerful tool for connection. You will learn about the different forms of laughter and why it makes us unique as humans.
In short: an inspiring and interactive session you don’t want to miss. Because laughter pays off—and that’s scientifically proven!
* During this lecture, we ask participants to actively laugh along; if more or less active participation is desired, this can of course be adjusted. It may also be good to mention that this lecture is set up as a duo lecture, but is also composed so that only Sanne or Patricia can deliver it.
A delightful workshop where the group is explained and experiences the concept of laughing for no reason. A unique concept that ensures people laugh differently than they ever have before. Discover the effect of laughter and how many benefits laughter has for the body and mind.
Laughter is an experience! Not to watch, but to experience! Participants will feel happy and energised afterwards. Everyone learns to laugh for no reason and can do the laughter exercises whenever and wherever they want after just one session. Lots of laughter and fun! A positive workshop indeed!
