I’m in the process of a major update on this website, but first, I’m launching a book!
That’s right, my podcast, Lead with a dash of Play, has inspired a book exploring play as a leadership skill. The book campaign is live now.
So if you believe a playful mindset is an asset to leadership, or if you’ve ever wanted to shape a book, be in a book, or bring a book to the world (without having to write it all yourself), please join me. Learn more about the book and join the campaign here.
Ready to play with me?
Here’s what’s currently going on.

Learn more about Leading with Play: the PODCAST
What if we re-defined “play” for professional spaces? That’s the curiosity that got me interviewing people and putting it all together in a podcast series. The more I listened to what these amazing guests and experts shared, the more I realized that play is a leadership skill!
Listen to the podcast and subscribe to be alerted to the next season.
If you’ve been wondering about all the talk of play being good for you as an adult, this is a low-risk opportunity to learn more (and dip a toe in the water).
Permission to Play is an opportunity to play with play – to discover when and how to bring a playful mindset into your regular days and professional life. Click below to learn more about it.
