Geert Van De Vijver Jef Boes

Hello Geert
Thanks again for the laughable laughter session yesterday at Vanhout!
Once pulled out of our comfort zone, it turned out to be a successful activity.
Nice feedback heard today.

Jamie Van den Bergh, Vanhout - Geel

Our request was a challenge for Geert. But he did a wonderful job. Five days, he organised a laughter session six times a day for about 15 people. Afterwards everyone was extremely enthusiastic. They were happy and relaxed, despite of the straining sales training. Thanks, Geert!

Isabelle De Schryver, Twins – Event lancering Opel Astra

Bedankt Geert voor de fantastische ervaring afgelopen vrijdag. Voor herhaling vatbaar

Joerie Welslau, Stihl

The laughter workshop was better than expected. This workshop allows you and your colleagues to show another side of yourself in the work environment. It’s perfect for teambuilding

Sarah Borremans, B Post

Geert’s laugh was so contagious that you simply couldn’t help but join in. Brilliant! Unforgettable.
