Be the Claquer

Claque is a French word meaning to clap. In the 19th century, people would be paid to infiltrate audiences at the theatre and laugh, cry, shout and clap at a performance, encouraging others to do the same. Like a very early hire-a-crowd.

How cool would it be to have your own claquers following you around to cheer you on?

But how cool is it to remember to be a claquer for those around you?

Find time for supporting, encouraging and inspiring those you work with in what they do. We all need it. And giving it away isn't just free, it pays you in spades.
