The
Playful
Mindset
Relational Excellence
Relational Excellence transforms ordinary teams into extraordinary forces. With a sprinkle of this magic, communication becomes a symphony of understanding and trust flourishes like a garden in full bloom. Imagine a workplace where play intertwines with work, where laughter echoes through the halls, and creativity dances freely. In this vibrant tapestry, empathy glides gracefully in every interaction and collaboration becomes an unstoppable force of innovation. Together, we'll build a world where work and play harmoniously unite, and extraordinary achievements become the norm.
Cognitive Ingenuity
Cognitive Ingenuity is the secret sauce of original thinking, problem-solving prowess, and unleashing those creative superpowers. This magnificent skillset emboldens leaders to embrace curiosity, tackle complex challenges and conjure up innovative solutions. Picture a culture of innovation thriving like a vibrant garden. Play is the creative catalyst, inviting us to explore uncharted territories and leap beyond conventional boundaries. Let's embrace the wild and wonderful world of cognitive ingenuity together.
Adaptive Mastery
Adaptive Mastery is the art of skill-fully navigating the twists and turns of change, embracing the boundless realm of flexibility, and continually expanding our knowledge and growth. Here, your leaders transform into culture heroes, fearlessly tackling shifting market dynamics and emerging challenges. Play urges us to experiment with audacious ideas and embrace failure as a remarkable chance to learn. This empowers leaders to triumph over uncertainty and steer their organisations towards unprecedented success. Get ready to embark on the extraordinary journey of adaptive mastery.
We've discovered that by creating permission, space and spark, leaders and teams can increase connection, wellbeing, and new thinking in their organisations.

What Clients Say About Play

Carolyn Bell
Past Executive Director
Epworth Hospital
What a great way to unleash creativity amongst the team. Our leaders learned the power of fun and our key takeaway from the day was that we can often get caught up in structures, process and bureaucracy and through play we can create energy, innovation and build relationships to connect with one other.

Jake Spiering
Chief Financial Officer
Chevron
The team have absolutely created a spark, turning on a creative culture within our organisation. The feedback was outstanding. We have seen a number of the tools and takeaways continue to show up across our business to unlock new ways of collaborating and building on each other’s ideas. Our leadership team is now aware of the power of “Yes, And….”, and we have seen multiple teams introduce play into their organisational rituals.
Margaret Tope
Principal
Vic College for the Deaf
The workshop was fun, engaging and created the opportunity for staff to share and learn about each other in a safe space. The discussions were rich and you could see staff were having ‘aha’
moments as they gained deeper insights about each other. This new knowledge will definitely add stronger context for building our collective efficacy.
