Season 2: Episode 1
Are we suffering from serious grown up syndrome in the workplace? What if I told you that letting go of this seriousness is the key to maximizing engagement, productivity and potential? In this conversation with Jeff Harry, we explore unleashing your inner child by following your curiosity. This path leads us to the work that makes us comes alive and provides permission for others to pursue this path as well. It’s time to discover your play values as a people-driven leader and Jeff will tell us how.
About Jeff:

Jeff is an international speaker who has presented at conferences such as INBOUND, SXSW, and Australia’s Pausefest, showing audiences how major issues in the workplace can be solved using play. Jeff was selected by BambooHR & Engagedly as one of the Top 100 HR Influencers of 2020 for his organizational development work around dealing with toxic people in the workplace.

While we spend most of our time pretending to be important, serious grownups, it’s when we let go of that facade and just play, that the real magic happens. Fully embracing your own nerdy genius — whatever that is — gives you the power to make a difference and change lives. Jeff believes that we already have many of the answers we seek, and by simply unleashing our inner child, we can find our purpose and, in turn, help to create a better world.
