The interesting thing about working with adults is that as we get older we get very serious about ourselves, but once you strip that away, gather a group of strangers in a room, and insert laughter, people can connect easier and more quickly. “The thing I’m most surprised by is that at the end of a class, people are saying how much they love each other, and not in a creepy way, but coming from a very genuine and honest place. When you collectively face a fear and overcome it together, it is easy to quickly establish a connection,” inserts Nick. Nick Morgan essentially has spent the last 15 years as a Laughter Coach; he helps groups to use improv, comedy, and laughter to overcome barriers, improve their communication skills, learn how to land a sale, and face their fears. “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people, it instantly connects people, and is the most important thing in our world today,” says Nick, “I would love to get people from opposing sides in a room and take them through some improv exercises because laughter and perspective is just that powerful.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
