Your Staff Is Checked Out…Here’s How To Fix It!
Why does work feel worse now than ever? 85% of workers are disengaged, 81% are job-hunting, 72% feel underpaid, and nearly 80% struggle with work-life balance. These are more than just numbers, they're the sign of a workforce barely hanging on. Businesses are losing almost $500 billion, with absenteeism, turnover, and accidents spiking. Steven Johnson put it best: “You’ll find the future where people are having fun.” This talk is a call to action for leaders who want to embrace a play-oriented mindset, creating a work environment that celebrates risk, failure, and joyful experimentation.

Every Time You Say ‘Let’s Circle Back,’ a Unicorn Dies
Our meetings are broken. Half could’ve been emails, and the rest are packed with jargon and performative updates no one remembers. Endless check-ins, vague agendas, and the dreaded “let’s circle back” are killing morale and wasting precious hours. Right now, meetings are where joy and productivity go to die. This session is a workplace intervention disguised as fun. We’ll expose the real cost of bad meetings: burnout, disengagement, and unicorn extinction. Then we’ll show you how to replace them with gatherings that energize instead of drain. You’ll learn how to host meetings people don’t dread, where ideas flow, decisions get made, and no one says “synergize” without a group groan. Using play, improv, and a dash of mischief, you’ll design meetings people actually want to attend, where every voice matters and the cycle of circling back finally ends.
