1. Personal Experiences
Two days of laugher training creates a change in the physiology of the body. We open up to a new experience and through the course of oxygenating the body, change happens. The issues in the tissues shift and so we feel more free and more purposeful, though we also can feel the cathartic nature of the shift. When we don't fully understand it, we can become confused and unsettled.

After an initial understanding of the changes that occur to the body, the mind with its mental processing and the emotional charge are also shifted for a change and spiritually we open the door to a place we may be unsure of. This raises questions and while you may recieve some answers that assist for awhile. The love of laughter keeps us wanting to discover more about it.

Creating a practice and a new habit takes time to develop. Distractions and unexpected circumstances take us off the path we intend and getting back on can be confusing and tangled with all kinds of conditions.

This is where the group coaching can come in very nicely. In a group all kinds of similar sharing can help us to know what the norm is and together with guidance, find a natural balance that fits well. This is also an opportunity to get creative and explore possibilities. Partnering and collaboration rise and opportunities can come into a more enjoyable experience where everyone gains more than they would individually. It is where you can ask questions of like minded individuals and learn more, motivate yourself and be inspired by what you can and want to accomplish...and then do it for better results.

2. Professional Experiences
Two days of laughter training can be decieving as it rises up a way to change the world that is very tangible. Individuals want to quit their jobs and become laughter teachers and make a difference in the world, it is that powerful in what it evokes within us.

The truth is that 99.9% of our leaders will not make a business out of this. That is because in large part they are not entrepreneurs with a healthy understanding of what it takes to have a relationship with the bottom line. There is an understanding of responsibility that goes along with the monetary side and for those who depend upon a paycheck, it is not adviseable to throw caution to the wind and set up business.

Instead there are plenty of ways to satisfy a need to enjoy monetary rewards with contribution, and with direction, focus and intention it can be a happy road. If you are practiced in this or disciplined enough to figure this out, you can create all kinds of wonder. If you are not, you can learn and also learn to make choices that fit with what you desire so that it all comes out purposeful and profitable in your time, resources, efforts and monetary investments.

Aside from the monetary (this always needs to be addressed to relax the question), there are other professional questions that leaders have in what can be created. This is a great opportunity for group coaching to be of assistance. In understanding your partnership with both monetary and professional leadership. It is a point of knowing how you wish to lead and what type of leadership you wish to develop in yourself.

Coaching can give you feedback, direction, focus, answers, questions, and healthe discussions with guidance to make choices in a safe vehichle so that what you present is sound, effective and efficient for you and any you wish to engage with for laughter and in life.

3. Purpose Experiences
Two days of laughter training brings about a sense of altruism. Our hearts are open, we see a bigger picture and we know people are starving for joy. We are the answer and we know it!

Reminding ourselves about finding the balance of time and energy when sharing the laughter programs can run up against our resources as well and when we don't strike a balance with it, we can be curiously unsure and unsettled about how to proceed and how to keep focused and how to ignite attention in the way we want to set it up. In truth there are many ways in which you can be of service with laughter yoga, the best way is to do it in a way that aligns with your values and compliments either what you are already doing or with your talents and capabilities that are currently in existence.

This is the principle that is of most significant because it reminds us to be of service and how to be of service in all we do. It is useful for a personal practice and most definitely for a professional practice, though isn't always understood as such. These three topics are the backbone of direction that leaders ask for in support over and over again, so that is what will be provided in this coaching experience.

In this way the experience creates a whole approach for the body, mind and spirit to embrace the laughter personally, professionally and purposefully.

Duration
3 Month - The Teaser
This is an investment in something you want to know more about...YOU and how you will develop in three areas.
Personal Development is always the first step and in a group this dynamic is variable as each has their own unique understanding of practice and development, though laughter practice and development tends to move things around in the body, so that even the seasoned professional will ask healthy questions and find the playing field more evenly balanced.

3 months can give you a taste, though do realize that this is about changing habits, focus and new directions and one requires at least 3 months to set change in place. My findings are that it also takes another 3 months to keep the change in place, so that one learns to live with this mode in a comfortable practice.

6 Month - The Basic Development - Balance
As explained in the Teaser, 3 months to make change, 3 months to adjust to change.
Everyone is an individual and you will know where you stand as time progresses. Six months may fit just right and then you may wish to explore more areas or review where another three months may/may not be helpful.
This expectation is realistic and in knowing you are the type to stay the course and create some excited changes, this may be a good place to start.

9 Month - Change and Adaptation
As Explained in the Basic Development program, six months is a recommended starting point and evaluations to proceed may well suit you, and where not, this time frame can be of service in adding more theory and development to suit your individuality. This is the typical selection as there is room to grow at a steady pace.

12 Month - Committed Change
Choosing this program from the start speaks of your honesty and serious nature in committing to change. When committing to a year program there is an adaptation of the mind and determination that serves to carry the indivdual to higher expectations and results from the start. There is more depth of learning and opportunity

Fees
$99 Per Month
Payable in advance of each month's session.
( Per space availablity, participants may choose a Mon and Wed session for more accountability and pay double the fee for two sessions per week. If you are new to coaching, my recommendation is to begin with one.
As you progress you may wish to add a session for personal development.)
