I laugh for a living! Laughter coach - Laughter Yoga - author of Happy Lemons http://happylemons.dk/

Thomas is a life coach and laughter instructor as well as the driving force behind World Laughter Day in Denmark. “Laughing in front of other people takes courage”, a lesson learned from any attendees of this international event.

“As a spectator, when you see so many people laughing together, your mind wants to understand. For those laughing together, they have an instant connection.” Thomas Flindt

Experiencing the courage of laughing with others, and the connections you develop aren’t the only benefits either. Aside from coaching, Thomas inspires people, businesses, and teams, to more enjoyable and motivating work. He conducts laughter workshops and personal development courses for corporations because, as Thomas says, “laughter gives us energy and motivates us.” His lectures have a fine balance between seriousness and fun – emphasizing the importance of allowing ourselves to laugh, as this gives rise to more successes in life.

Success can be measured, as evinced by Thomas’ efforts with laughter in the workplace. For one year, Thomas conducted his laughter sessions with a Danish IT company. As a result, the company observed an increase in production and sales by over 40%! Thomas’ pioneering research has thus demonstrated that when humor levels rise in the workplace, profits follow.

He is one of Denmark’s leading experts in job satisfaction and motivation, and his books are based on his experiences with 20,000 employees from more than 1,000 different Scandinavian companies. At these aforementioned companies, he has helped employees and managers to have more fun, and be more effective at work.
