Play can make you a more courageous leader! Check out our new blog.

For adults, play develops courage to be vulnerable. Courageous leadership cultivates psychological safety and inspires confidence to take interpersonal risks.

“Anything you do or say is correct!”

This is a rule that guides many of the playful activities in our workshops, and it dramatically transforms how teams show up with one another.

Through play, teams experience their capacity to support one another while being spontaneous, creative, and even a little messy.

This experience sets the stage for a more courageous, supportive, and productive work culture where people feel safe to show up as their whole selves.

Our favorite tension to talk about is between Productivity & Play.

💭 How do you make work more fun and motivating without sacrificing productivity?

💭 How do you keep relationships professional while making room for authentic connection?

💭 How do you encourage creativity and experimentation without abandoning practicality?

It starts with a willingness to examine where we are spending our time, and then shift our approach to balance the two. Leaders who know how to focus on both Productivity & Play create cultures where people are authentically connected, motivated, and inspired to achieve better results.

Are you an expert or a learner? A tactician or a visionary?

Don't force productivity! Take a break and do something that feels like play before "sliding" back into work-mode.

⚡️60% increase in people welcoming being challenged by others

⚡️40% increase in people handling conflict directly with one another.

⚡️64% increase in people talking about mistakes and ways to learn from.

These metrics are all related to psychological safety, which is one of top contributing factors to high team performance.

As a leader, allowing yourself to be vulnerable with your team can feel unnerving. At Ziksana, we use play-based learning environments to allow authentic conversations to occur naturally. These conversations are often the starting point of greater vulnerability, and allow teams to work through issues they haven't had the courage to discuss.

Come train with us! https://www.ziksanaconsulting.com/training-programs/

Here’s how to cultivate it.
