Clients rave about Fif Fernandes:
"Because I have personally felt the benefits of Laughter Yoga, I have created an Employee Laughter Yoga Club for my employees. Laughter Yoga increases creativity and performance, reduces absenteeism - who wants to miss the fun and raises your bottom - line that is."
Robert Halfyard, CEO, CLYL, Resourceful Futures
"Right from the start created an atmosphere of intimacy, trust and common experience. Within moments of Fif taking the floor strangers were greeting each other, laughing and immediately engaged. For over two hours Fif's entertaining, engaging and professional approach greatly contributed to the success of this event. "
Nancy MacKenzie, Customer Service Manager, Calgary Public Library
"Fif did an excellent job of tailoring her presentation (for Alberta & British Columbia Subway Franchises, Managers and Venders) to apply specific points brought up throughout the conference, and to bring out awareness of the benefits of laughter and positivity in daily business life."
Margot M Micallef, Development Agent /CEO, Subway Devco LP
