Play is the bridge between what you think is possible and what’s actually possible. It’s where rules disappear and joy remains.

Be honest. How often do you actually play at work? If your answer is virtual trivia nights, sending memes on Slack or only with a goal or objective in mind (hello yoga class, I see you) chances are you’ve felt anxious and burned out over the last few years.

You might be thinking:

⏰I don’t have time to play.

⛹️Play is for kids.

👨‍🏫 If I play at work no one will take me seriously.

⌚ Making play a priority for my team means we’re not using our time wisely.

It’s counter intuitive but it’s actually the opposite.

Studies have shown:

62% of employees who have fun at work took no sick days in the last 3 months*

79% of survey respondents rated fun at work as very/moderately important.*

65% of adults who played for 20 minutes a day experienced improved sleep

I offer workshops for groups and teams that are designed to tap you into just how powerful play can be to lower stress, improve innovation and build healthier relationships.

If you’re interested in bringing more play to your event, or want to learn new ways to improve problem solving in your organization let’s connect.

Ready? Let’s play!
