The Playground

A research-based, playful workshop to help your team discover how to do their best work every day.

The Playground is a play-based workshop where your team discovers their own play personalities and learns how to use them to lead more fulfilling working lives. It is based on Dr. Stuart Brown's research on play.

"The opposite of play is not work - it is depression."

- Brian Sutton-Smith

Play is an essential ingredient of a happy working life. When we play, we become fully immersed in an activity, we lose the sense of time and we forget about ourselves. Play makes us creative and innovative, it helps us develop social and problem-solving skills.

Every one of us has a distinct play personality - we simply prefer some ways to play over others. Learning to identify what these are and how to use them in our day-to-day work will bring clarity and meaning to our careers.

When we play, we are focused, we learn, we collaborate, we bond, we feel energised - in short, we shine! What if your daily work made you feel this way? What if you knew exactly which projects or tasks to take on to do your best work?

How it works:

This workshop uses play as a learning tool to help your team identify their play personalities and how to use them at work. It is an immersive experience where everyone is active and hands-on, as opposed to passively receiving information.

We will identify our unique play personalities, share stories of play and joy and, most importantly, have fun!

By the end of the workshop, you will:

know exactly what kind of tasks and projects make you shine.
get to know your colleagues better, by seeing them through a new lens.
have a renewed sense of your superpowers as a team or company.
have had a memorable and fun experience.

The Playground includes:

A virtual or in-person conversation with you to get to know your team’s needs.
A 3-hour immersive workshop at your office, customised to your team.
Hands-on engaging team exercises and games, away from screens.

Reviews

"I had the opportunity to collaborate with Monica on a project where her expertise in designing experiences and visitor journeys was absolutely essential. Her insights and strategies are a game-changer in creating unified experiences that evoke emotions and foster lasting connections. She encouraged us to think creatively and pay attention to the finer details that contribute to a holistic experience, a crucial element in brand-building."

Karolina Perasinova / Station

"The way The Foreigner's Journey event was organised made me open to share and listen. Adele and Monica made sure that every part of the journey was designed to perfection. Their creativity, attention to details and care for the ‘travellers’ deserves an applause. I enjoyed every part of it. I truly recommend them as event organizers."

Kasia Kawecka / Carlsberg

"Monica has a vast knowledge around experience design and event planning. She greatly supported me in building and fine-tuning the workshop I was designing. Her focus on details combined with her abstract thinking made me feel very confident both before and during the facilitation of the event. It's been a pleasure working together."

Simona Mancusi / Tenco

"Monica has very good knowledge of her field and keeps herself up to date, and on top of that, she has a contagious passion for Experience Design. I highly recommend her for any events that you want to make sure will be engaging and unforgettable, or if you yourself want to learn more about the fascinating field of Experience Design. She delivered above our expectations."
