Talk: The Power of Play
Why Play? Study helps to acquire knowledge, professional skills and discipline. But in this day and age we need to keep our playfulness alive. Playfulness boosts flexibility, creativity, speeded learning, and lightness of tone, which makes people more charming, open and positive. And those qualities also help with building relationships, sales, dealing with adversity and adapting to new conditions like pandemics or invent your way out of a crisis. In this workshop we'll address how to develop your play power. What attitude and principles help you to be more playful? How to be more creative and come up with innovative solutions to new problems? How to integrate playfulness into leadership? All flavored with some colorful examples and exercises.
