Build a Better Workplace

My journey into playful learning began unexpectedly as a young, first-time manager in a high-stress work environment. Seeking ways to alleviate tension and boost team performance, I introduced familiar card games and LEGO® brick activities into our daily meetings. What started as a tactic to manage stress and refocus on goals unexpectedly blossomed into a transformative approach to workplace dynamics. I witnessed my team develop enhanced creative problem-solving skills, improved interpersonal communication, and a newfound sense of fulfillment in their work.

Inspired by these remarkable outcomes, I embarked on a mission to formalize this approach. Over the years, I’ve delved deep into neuroscience, adult learning theories, and organizational psychology, synthesizing research with practical experience to develop the Bailey WorkPlay Framework for Playful Learning^™. This system is designed to meet the complex demands of today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, fostering adaptability, innovation, and collaboration. It goes beyond traditional training methods, creating an environment where employees’ strengths are celebrated, and their potential is fully realized. Through this framework, I help organizations across various industries not just to adapt, but to thrive in the face of change, proving that when it comes to workplace learning, play isn’t just fun – it’s transformative.
