The Jester's Journey
Unlocking Creativity & Courage through humour and storysharing.
At MyBeast we believe that creating stronger emotional connections at work that centre around openness, empathy and humour are the key to a happy and productive workplace.
We facilitate and encourage internal comms teams & leaders to explore inclusive humour and discover the power of comedic personal stories to foster stronger connections.
A "beast" is an unlucky or embarrassing experience you later laugh about.
We provide tailored humour & storytelling workshops which create a safe and supportive environment for colleagues with the main outcomes being:
-
Stronger connection between colleagues
-
Applying Inclusive Humour at Work
-
Foster Psychological Safety
-
Brainstorming Humorous Ideas
