Listen Later

Share your thoughts about our conversation!

Have we forgotten how to play? Applied play theorist, strategist, and consultant Minna Taylor, certainly thinks so!

As an actor and theatrical voice coach in a past life, Minna has made it her life’s purpose to invite creative expression, deliberate play, and the power of surrender into people’s lives. She now helps organisations to excel in the infinite game of work, showing them that play is not the pursuit of frivolity, but the spaciousness to think, to create, to adapt, and exist with ease.

Minna brings beautiful, articulate thoughts, intelligence and effervescence to some big ideas: from psychedelics to psychological safety, the industrial revolution, to decentralising your ego. What a joy to speak with her!

Find out about:

  • The multi-layered notions of play - and its misconceptions
  • Why play is both the absence of control and the opposite of performance
  • The need for play in the corporate world
  • Why we must dismantle belief systems in society to make space for play
  • The importance of embedding learning into an organisation with integrity and intent
