Sharing a playful approach to life in the company of others is a way to practice not judging yourself. Play is an equalizer. Play is what we do with what isn't perfect. Play is dancing with our imperfections. But if we're stuck in our heads prejudging and critiquing ourselves and worrying about what other people think, we block our creativity.
Playfulness cultivates an attitude which joyfully bridges and enhances our work and personal lives.
Jeanne finds conventional methods of stress reduction used by businesses and organizations typically offer little opportunity for people to genuinely activate their creative sides. The way to teach adults to rediscover their innate capacity for play is not to talk endlessly to them about it, but to leap into playing. I do that through a deliberate progression of activities that build safety. All the experiences offered are intentionally designed to foster an environment of non-competition. Since play is truly about ultimate choice, there is no such thing as forced play.
