Let's Laugh is a purpose driven social enterprise dedicated to providing simple, effective, evidence-based programs to organisations that are passionate about the health and well-being of their staff, clients and community members.
All our immersive, interactive, evidence-based programs are founded in our Chief Happiness Officers' background of psychology, neuroscience and humour as therapy, her passion for getting people motivated and moving with laughter and music based exercise programs, mat and seated yoga, and her 40 years of practice and study into meditation, mindfulness and effective breathwork.
About our Chief Happiness Officer Bron Roberts:
In her early days Bron was an office administrator in a high-care rehabilitation centre. Her ability to inspire, motivate and bring a sense of joy to anxious clients caught the attention of management, and she was trained to run the new (and at the time, somewhat controversial) meditation, mindfulness and emotional intelligence based programs, known at the time as conscious awareness and impactful breath. Anything but quiet, her versions of the programs were presented in a way that fostered true connection and compassion, often filled the training rooms with laughter and filled participants with feelings of joy and a hope for the future. Many of her clients called her their accidental joy coach.
With years of experience helping others navigate what were some very turbulent waters in their life journey, Bron was surprised, and disappointed to discover that she was totally unprepared for the difficulties of caring for her own mother as she navigated what was a difficult 13 year journey that began with the transition from wife to widow, saw her struggle with depression, and finally succumb to dementia. Calling time and time again on her conscious awareness and impactful breathing skills, and her ability to find laughter and joy in some of the most difficult of situations, she was, when her mother's difficult journey came to an end, invited to share her strategies with other carers. Her early talks, titled 'permission to play, how to find moments of joy in the most difficult of times' proved overwhelmingly popular and set her on a life path that she could never have imagined, and it was not only carers who appreciated new ways to mitigate burnout and build the scaffolding that supports individual skills for well-being. Within a year of her first speaking invitation Bron was sharing her popular programs in workplaces and with conference groups around Australia.
In 2002 Bron trained as one of the world's first fully certified Laughter Yoga Leaders and Teachers with Laughter Yoga International, and to support the movement aspect that forms a part of Laughter Yoga completed traditional yoga teacher training, the Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga teachers training program, Zumba and Zumba Gold teacher training and a fitness qualification. She updates her meditation, mindfulness and breathwork training qualifications on a regular basis and has even trained as a Laughter Boss through the Humour Foundation.
Wanting to underpin what she saw as 'all the fun' of her programs with a solid academic foundation, Bron completed a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences, and a 3-year post-graduate diploma in humour as therapy through the University of Oregon (USA) and the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH.org), becoming Australia's first and still only Certified Humour Professional. She's a graduate of Dr. Sarah McKay's Neuroscience Academy, has completed several of Russ Harris's Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) trainings, Rick Hanson's NeuroDharma mindfulness program, and the Science of Happiness and Positive Psychology through the Greater Good Science Centre at the University of California - Berkeley. She's also studied Gross National Happiness (GNH) at the GNH Centre in Bhutan.
In her spare time (yes, she actually has some) she's the proud mother of two wonderfully successful adult daughters, and in 2024 and again in 2026 became an extra proud nanna. She's a (sometimes reluctant) cyclist (she's married to an avid one), a public speaking trainer and mentor, and a Toastmasters champion speaker. She's also a passionate traveller, avid reader (mostly of relevant research reports), life-long learner, community volunteer, supporting facilitator for a number of wellbeing studies, contributing author to several wellbeing publications, and the Laughter expert of choice for a number of media outlets.
