What if the secret to better performance, more profit, and happier teams… was play?

In this episode, we tumble headfirst into the world of creative thinking at work - with a tip of the hat to Viola Spolin, the grandmother of improvisation.

Discover why setting playful boundaries can unlock serious innovation, how routine might be strangling your potential, and why embracing creativity isn’t just feel-good fluff - it’s a business strategy.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why creativity isn’t a luxury - it’s a productivity tool

• How “rules of the game” create safety and spark innovation

• The ROI of playful workflows (spoiler: it’s more than smiles)

• What you’re missing if you never challenge the status quo

• A case for joy, connection, and a little less doom-and-gloom in the office

Work doesn’t have to be a spreadsheet-shaped prison. Let’s break the mould, and maybe even have fun doing it.
