Playful Leader Workshop: Play Your Way to Better Meetings

Barometer XP is a leading voice in play-based learning and facilitation. Our mission is to help leaders at all levels bring energy, engagement, and effectiveness back into the workplace by tapping into the science (and magic) of play.

Our signature Play-Based Training Series is a choose-your-own professional development adventure that aims to equip participants with games and experiential learning as powerful tools for connection, collaboration and innovation. Whether you're designing training programs, leading teams, or just looking for better ways to work better together as a group, this is where the journey begins...

Ever leave a meeting thinking, “That didn’t work… but I’m not sure why”? You’re not alone. Many teams feel stuck in unproductive patterns but struggle to pinpoint what to change or how to change it.

In this interactive half-day (1-5ET) virtual session on April 16th, you will:

• Discover how play can uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface in your meetings

• Experience hands-on activities you can immediately use with your own team

• Identify common collaboration challenges and explore new ways to address them

• Practice simple techniques to help your team experiment with more effective ways of working

• Walk away with practical ideas to improve your next meeting

Expect an energizing mix of interaction, reflection, and real-time learning. If you’re ready to break out of unproductive meeting habits and try something different (and surprisingly effective), this session is for you.
