Play. Something we all did as children, but as we grow older, it's less and less common to see, and even more so within the workplace. Play is often seen as the opposite of work.

But what about if your job was to help unlock the potential, and you encourage play to do that in the workplace? Well, earlier this year, Adam Lawrence and Marcos Edgar Hormess, who I've worked with for many years, mentioned to me about a new play kit that they were involved in creating with Playmobil Pro.

And I bought the full pro kit myself out of my own money. So this isn't an advert. I paid for this kit myself. But once I got it, I hit a few stumbling blocks. And I wasn't entirely sure how to weave it into my sessions or my workshops with my clients. Now, Frank, the MD of PlayMobile Pro, who I spoke to earlier in this year on the podcast, was awesome and connected me with today's guest, Juan Prego.

Now, on the topic of play, I've been a big fan of Miro for many, many years. It's the tool of choice for my online workshops. And they've kindly sponsored today's episode. And the sessions and learning experience that I provide for my clients are always fun. And I put this down to the utilizing of Miro's fun features inside their tool.

And I can really curate whatever experience I want to have within my canvases. Now Miro are helping us out. By sponsoring this episode, as I said, so if you want to show some love, why not check out what they've been doing by visiting Miro. com forward slash podcast, or by clicking the link in the description or show notes, depending on where you're listening or watching this episode.

Now, if you are listening, did you know that you can watch this episode on our YouTube channel? People are absolutely loving the fact that they can see the guests chat about things. So be sure to subscribe if you can get a chance and check out our YouTube channel. Back to Juan. He's produced an awesome book, Play Like a Pro, that is due out later this year in 2023 in English.
