Hello Reader,
You probably already know that I’m a big fan of play.
Not as an escape from work, but as a way to do better work.
As I wrote in my 16-page ebook Gamify Your Work, Dr Jason Fox said, ‘People don’t play games to avoid work. People play games to engage in well-designed work.’
As we approach the end of the year, many businesses are turning their thoughts to a year-end holiday party.
The easy way to do a holiday party is:
For many in-person teams, this is a solid formula. It lets everyone get together, complain about the boss in whispers underneath loud music, and blow off steam together. This provides a temporary facsimile of a relationship, but no real connection.
What about if you have a distributed team, with people who live in multiple locations? How can you help people feel celebrated, and improve the culture before everyone takes off for the holidays?
My virtual workshops are already interactive and engaging, when I’m teaching topics like productivity and digital marketing.
When I host a Fun & Games session on Zoom, all we do is have a great time. I can help your team deepen their connection, culture, and collaboration through the power of play.
Feedback from recent workshops and playshops includes:

📊 Build the capability of the future, together. Hello Reader, If you've been following me for a while, you know my story. If not, here's the TL;DR - I ran away and joined the circus, and lived as a street performer, hitchhiking across the United States.
