Laughter is a powerful emotion and can be used to bring people together and work as a team. The unique thing about laughing without a reason and Laughter Yoga is that laughter is unconditional and is done only as a physical exercise. There are no judgments. We do not laugh at something or make fun of others. It is therefore an ideal concept for constructive team building.
Laughter boosting is another effective method which uses unconditional laughter to prepare for stressful occasions. It is a great way to overcome shyness and fear of speaking. This can promote working together without feeling diffident and insecure. It raises one’s ability to interact and connect with other people – all of which is essential for building a good team.
