Founder & Head of Happiness, Laughology

Stephanie Davies brings humour, neuroscience and behavioural science together to make learning stick. With 25 years’ experience transforming teams at organisations including HSBC, Sky, and the NHS, she specialises in creating high-performance cultures where people actually enjoy showing up. A former stand-up comedian turned psychologist, Stephanie’s delivery is part science, part storytelling and entirely unforgettable. She has a knack for making complex psychology sound like common sense — and a superpower for turning “just another leadership session” into a roomful of laughter, learning and genuine lightbulb moments.
