Playful Leader Workshop: Feedback

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 workshop is where the journey begins.

Welcome to the Playful Leadership Workshop

This half-day, high-impact virtual feedback workshop is for leaders, managers, L&D and HR professionals, instructional designers, and changemakers who are tired of the status quo and seek new ideas around the topic of giving and receiving feedback. In 4 hours, participants will experience firsthand how play can create serious and measurable results – reenergizing learning, shifting mindsets, and driving real outcomes – without sacrificing professionalism or doing a trust fall.

We'll immerse participants in interactive experiences using a proven framework that makes play purposeful, powerful, and contextual to some of the toughest workplace challenges. This session is delivered in collaboration with Paula Castillo, an executive coach and facilitator, and draws on strengths-based approaches including the VIA Character Strengths survey, which participants complete beforehand. At the end of the workshop, each person will leave with:

• Greater confidence in advocating for play-based approaches;

• Tested strategies to work with the resistance of giving feedback and approaching difficult conversations at work;

• A toolkit of ready-to-use activities and resources (including special access to our Play Concierge platform); and

• Renewed clarity in their role, work, and team possibilities.

Becoming a Playful Leader means stepping into a creative and collaborative community committed to growth. The team at Barometer XP takes great pride in being a supportive partner to our active network, and offers 1:1 play consults as ongoing support. For those ready to deepen their expertise, we offer additional perks and opportunities to hone the craft of play facilitation and serious game design through:

• Play Facilitator Certification: A multi-day peer cohort experience to deepen facilitation skills

• Play Partner Licensing: A mastery track focused on game design and training others with our materials

Today's workplaces are increasingly complex, disconnected, and in need of more joy. With decades of experience leading with play, this leadership development training isn't just fun, it's the best type of professional development on the market.

This is for you if: you manage people; you coach clients through difficult conversations; your organization ran VIA Character strengths or CliftonStrengths and you want to connect it to behavior; or you design learning and want to see how uncomfortable material gets taught through play.
