Thank you for running the HumourAdventure^® workshop at Tintern Schools. The session was very positive and staff really enjoyed the opportunity to interact with others in a fun, social atmosphere while learning some useful strategies for managing stressful situations in the workplace.
(HR Team, Tintern Schools)

It was really motivational through the storytelling. And the practical and simple Tai Chi techniques were amazing - I really felt the difference. I came away feeling much more positive and freer of mind. I felt like I'd lost my inhibitions and it had opened my mind. It gave me a buzz!
(Maria Hermans, Administrative Officer, Swinburne Business Enterprise Centre)

Your advice on including laughter in our daily business lives not only brought a smile to our faces but reinforced the importance of taking time out of our busy schedules to get the most out of ourselves.
(Allen Dewhirst, Organiser, Manningham Business Network)

The staff appreciated the fun and constructive advice and activities ... The session engaged the staff and provided them with strategies to cope with difficult and stressful situations. (It) let us all have fun and yet in the process provided us with strategies for dealing with life situations.
(Oscar Visagie, Assistant Principal, Glen Waverley South Primary School)
