We Know Their Support Staff Did!
Think you have a tough job? Dan and I were hired to provide a laughter yoga session at an educational training with the SD Unified Judicial System Support Staff. Now you might think these folks could be stuffy and standoffish. But we found the exact opposite - everyone was friendly and willing to try anything! They understood laughter as an innovative tool for stress management, and along the way they had the time of their lives laughing with each other!
Some of the attendees were support staff for probation officers, and all come from within the judicial system where stress and negativity can be a large part of their job. They spent two days learning new skills and Laughter Yoga was the last session of their training. Our job was to send them home feeling good. They were so much fun to work with that they made our job easy!
What surprised Dan and I the most was that they came from all over the state and didn’t know each other. But they interacted with other so easily that we thought that many of them were old friends. Together we enjoyed pirate laughter, chicken laughter, and our favorite with groups who work so hard to make a difference in this world - appreciation laughter.
One woman, Connie, was so moved by the thought of appreciating each other by not only giving, but receiving the appreciation, that she ran up to me while I was talking about the exercise and gave me a great big bear hug! I fell in love with her instantly!
Thank you, Karn, for such an opportunity to touch so many lives. We always enjoy sharing our passion for laughter with organizations, but with this group it was truly a transforming experience. Thanks everyone for all your hard work - we appreciate you, and remember, YOU ARE AMAZING!
Love and laughter,
Jill & Dan
