How many of you feel like your dream job is taking away the life of you? Learning AND working take a lot of brain work. And doing it almost every day is a sure way to burn yourself out. So why not infuse creativity and fun at work?

In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Monica Kang, founder & CEO of InnovatorsBox, author of Rethink Creativity and Have You Seen My Friends?, and host of Dear Workplace and Curious Monica podcasts.

She is on a mission to unlock creativity for all to reimagine how we thrive no matter how old we are or where we work.

We delve into how to infuse creativity and fun at work, why it matters for employees and leaders, and the power of collaboration and partnership in building a healthy, creative, and fun workplace.
