My Profile

Hi! My name is Celeste Greene and I'm the Director of CelesteGreeneLaughs.com and LaughActive.com. I'm an entrepreneur focused on helping individuals and groups achieve their fullest potential and experience more authentic and deeper states of happiness. I help businesses reach their full potential through positive leadership and developing a culture that supports and encourages happiness at work. 

A highly sought after speaker, I have presented at TEDx Centennial Park Women and to numerous Fortune 500 clients from a variety of industries. My work has been featured in a number of media outlets, including CNN, Forbes.com, Psychology Today, 11Alive News, and Fox 5 Good Day Atlanta. For over a decade I have facilitated interactive keynotes enable groups to experience simple, effective and scientifically validated strategies for dissolving stress, developing emotional intelligence, strengthening cohesiveness, and improving performance. I entered into this line of work in 2010 after a successful career as a marketing senior account manager. I discovered intentional laughter while searching for a means to bring back the laughter in her own life that had depleted due to work-related stress. I love to laugh and to help others laugh. I even performed in weekly shows as an improv comic at Whole World Theatre before beginning her career in marketing.

My extensive work with older adults inspired me to complete my Master of Arts in Gerontology at Georgia State University in 2014. During my tenure at Georgia State University, I developed the LaughActive group exercise program for seniors. The program combines intentional laughter with a dedicated strength, balance, endurance, and flexibility exercise program. I was principal investigator of a rigorous evaluation study elucidating the health benefits of laughter exercise among assisted living residents. Her study was published in The Gerontologist, a prominent peer-reviewed academic journal in the field. I train others to facilitate LaughActive through the online LaughActive Exercise for Seniors Instructor Training Program and Laughter Yoga through in-person and online Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Training programs. I give back to my community through my twice weekly free online Laughter Yoga Club. In 2017, Laughter Yoga International awarded me the prestigious Laughter Ambassador distinction for my outstanding work in the field.
