In this episode of The Success Partner Podcast, host Daya Naef is joined by Alexandra Suchman, founder of Barometer XP, to explore the power of play in improving workplace collaboration, communication, and team culture. Alexandra shares how her background in operations and organizational development led her to realize that interpersonal dynamics—not systems—are often the real challenges in teams. By using games and experiential learning, she helps teams uncover hidden dynamics, foster trust, and build stronger relationships—whether remote, hybrid, or in-person.

They discuss:

• Why interpersonal conflict is the root of most workplace issues
• How games create a low-stakes environment to explore communication styles
• The impact of introversion and extroversion in team decision-making
• How remote and hybrid teams can still build strong, connected cultures
• Why trust and clarity are essential for innovation and accountability
• Training and certification programs that teach leaders how to integrate play into culture-building
