In this month’s solo episode, we look at the interaction between play and focus in a creative process, something hinted at by all our guests this month. Katie shares how she applies this in creating abstract art and theatre as well as courses for executives. We learn some things from children, the masters of play, and delve into how we might choose to be more playful (since most of us are better at the focus part).

We mention the book, Playful Parenting by Lawrence J. Cohen (sorry for nor remembering who wrote it while recording). For a more scientific examination of why play is important you can also check out “Play, how it shapes the brain, opens the imagination and invigorates the soul” by Stuart Brown M.D.
