WHAT DO WE 
EXPERIENCE?

We all work very hard at “doing our best”. This often leads to stress, frustration, fatigue, poor communication, lack of engagement, or lack of motivation. We become more vulnerable to criticism and mental, emotional and physical burnout. The overall experience of ‘acting out of fear’ leads to unproductive work, more sick days, and isolation.

The costs are devastating to any company!!

HOW DO COMPANIES GO ABOUT FIXING IT?

OUR SOLUTION = PLAYFULNESS!

While the immediate association of play is fun, silly and whimsical. "...playful adults allow stressors to roll off more easily as we are all wired by evolution to play… we should think about play as a catalyst and understand that even a little practice of it can go a long way towards boosting our productivity and happiness.”

“Listening is one of the most important, most difficult, and most neglected skills in communication. It demands that the administrator concentrate not only on the explicit meanings another person is expressing, but also on the implicit meanings, unspoken words, and undertones that may be far more significant. Thus, an administrator must learn to listen with the inner ear if he is to know the inner person.”

 Dr. Fred C. Lunenburg

By adopting a SERIOUSLY PLAYFUL mindset you are able to fully engage and respond from an experience of safety rather than one of fear. Seriously playful people transform their environment and become creative, productive, involved and communicative. We have REPEATEDLY SEEN that playfulness is the cutting edge solution for a company’s wellness and the ticket to its success.

Can playfulness impact creativity and productivity?
