Playfulness – Professional Workshop

  • Professional Workshops
  • Self-Knowledge
  • Work
Too often we think of play as something reserved for children, or worse, for the lazy, idle, and irresponsible. But playfulness is serious business. It helps us connect to one another in an authentic way, recover from high-stress situations, enjoy our work, and remain curious about the world.

More About The Workshop

In this two-hour session, we will:

• Consider the role of play in connecting with colleagues, clients, and customers.

• Learn about the role of humour in building rapport and addressing conflict.

• Practise using play to generate new ideas and solutions to pressing problems.

• Learn ways to make our daily routine more adventurous and playful.

What characterises mastery of this skill?

Playful employees bring fun and humour to their work. They thus create an open and enjoyable team atmosphere. They might consciously choose humour to ease and resolve conflicts. Overall, this provides a relaxed space in which to practise and experiment with new ideas, free from the fear of failure.

What characterises a lack of this skill?

Employees lacking playfulness tend to be rather serious. They have difficulties with thought experiments and with tolerating failure. It might also be hard for them to bring variety into the tasks of their team thus contributing to a rather boring and monotonous work atmosphere.
