The Place to Go for RPO.TM

The global economy has significantly been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, and this disruption has trickled down into all aspects of business, including talent acquisition. Many organizations had to pivot and become fairly agile in response to this disruption. Almost all hiring functions and processes transitioned rapidly into a virtual environment. Technological solutions empowered and inspired the transformation of many recruiting and hiring practices. In other words, while the pandemic disrupted our lives and work, it also accelerated transformation. 

“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity”― Albert Einstein

About Laughter Yoga and Slash Coleman

Laughter yoga, AKA Hasya yoga, is a practice involving prolonged voluntary laughter. It’s based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides the same benefits as spontaneous laughter. Typically done in laughter groups or laughter clubs, it’s a unique concept because it doesn’t depend on comedy, jokes or humor.

Founder of Laughter Yoga Richmond, Slash provides laughter yoga team building sessions to help groups manage stress and make healthier lifestyle choices through laughter yoga.

Slash considers himself to be a performance artist, storyteller and scientist who uses humor to conduct social experiments related to: identity, family, art, God, the concept of home, love, compassion and romantic relationships. He draws much of his inspiration from being raised in the south by an offbeat, creative family including a grandfather who was a dancer at the Moulin Rouge.

Over the last decade, he has produced and has published his research on stage and television and has been featured on PBS, NPR, and The New York Times. Slash has also appeared at TEDx, The International Storytelling Center, the Oral History Performance Conference, The National Storytelling Festival, and Pete Seeger’s Clearwater Festival.
