Smile at Work – Getting people and teams moving for 20 years


Laughter is much more than a spontaneous reaction. Scientific research shows that laughter helps reduce stress, strengthens connection, stimulates creativity, and contributes to more energy in the workplace.

Based on that conviction , Geert Van De Vijver has been inspiring organizations for nearly twenty years with interactive keynotes, energizers, and laughter workshops in which experience and science go hand in hand.

Meanwhile, more than 35,000 participants have taken part in one of his sessions in Belgium, the Netherlands, and abroad.


An interactive experience


Each session is a combination of:

  • practical exercises
  • humor and interaction
  • breathing and movement
  • insights from positive psychology
  • scientific substantiation
  • concrete tips that participants can apply immediately

Not a comedy.

No forced laughter.

It is an interactive experience that brings people closer together.
