Why play at work?

Whether you’re looking to build connection, inspire creativity, foster well-being, or bring more joy back to your team - play can help.

Research shows that play creates psychological safety allowing us to lower our armor, offer up ideas, engage in that new conversation, ask for help, and see each other in new ways.

Let’s play!

Team building

Engage your team in learning a playful new skill and then applying it to competitive and creative challenges. Laughter fills the room as they struggle, strategize, and succeed, together.

Continue to build on these skills in follow up meetings to further solidify the connections made.

The impact of play...
Complexity made clear
“Dawn and Paul clearly have a passion for what they do that shines through in how they lead their sessions. They have a way of taking complex challenges that can present themselves in the workplace and breaking them down into simple, clear lessons that invite people to think differently about how they show up in work and life – all while having fun! This training left people renewed, inspired and wanting to learn more.”
Noelle Ybarra, Wellness Specialist, RTI International
Connecting seasoned and new employees

We are still flopping
“Randolph County DSS Management Team really appreciated the interactive and energetic presentation that you did for us. The information was perfect and in line with our leadership development plan for this year. The interaction allowed them to physically employ the main points in a fun way; without even realizing it. We are still flopping.”
Richard D. Park, Assistant Director/Business Officer, Randolph County Department of Social Services
Perfect way to meet
Ann Welton, President, Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce
“It was great. Everyone enjoyed themselves. It was a perfect way for them to meet each other. Lots of laughter and a little competitiveness, too!”
Personalize to specific themes
Paul and Dawn were lovely and did an amazing job at our Annual Meeting. They were prompt, professional, delivered an educational and fun presentation, and were well received by our audience. Paul and Dawn were able to personalize their Flop Ball presentation to the specific themes we wanted to introduce our group to and the Flop balls themselves were a fun and versatile “prop” to drive the presentation home. Our group really loved having the balls to take home and play with!"
