Some of the businesses and people I have worked with:
Did you know we spend a whopping average of 90,000 hours at work over our lifetime?
That’s A LOT of time to be serious!
What if those hours were filled with laughter, creativity, and genuine connection instead?
Most companies and leaders want better communication, stronger collaboration and teamwork and to experience more innovation and joy!
It’s not just about hitting those targets (although that’s pretty awesome too!). It’s about creating an environment where everyone feels connected, valued, and excited to contribute.
Imagine a workplace where ideas flow like coffee on a Monday morning, where your team shows up because they love what they do, and where every day feels like an opportunity to grow and have fun!
So, how do we make this happen?
The answer is simple: PLAY!
Research shows that when we connect, embrace our differences, and think creatively, magic happens. We’re happier, healthier, and way more productive.
That’s where we come in.
At our company, we believe that play isn’t just for kids.
Play is the secret sauce that makes work feel like less of a grind and more of a joyride. We bring play back into the workplace through games and activities designed to boost communication, collaboration, and innovation.
A playful approach helps your team find a shared purpose, align on a vision, and smash through your organisational goals—while having a blast doing it!
Picture this: Your team laughing, collaborating, and communicating openly. Ideas bouncing around like beach balls. Energy levels through the roof. That’s the power of play!
And here’s the kicker—when you put your people first, your business thrives. Every product or service you offer is a reflection of how connected and engaged your team is. We’re here to make sure your people love their jobs and enjoy working together.
Let’s make ‘fun’ a pillar of your business culture!
Because when your employees love their work, love their colleagues, and love how they’re managed, they naturally do their best work.
Play connects people. It aligns purpose and passion. It makes work feel less like, well, work.
We’re not talking about another boring management training session or a typical team-building day. We create unique, interactive experiences that get your people connecting in ways you never thought possible.

"Working with Emmajane completely transformed the way I approach life and business. Before meeting her, I had no idea how powerful play could be. As someone running multiple businesses, I always thought work had to be serious. In fact, I felt guilty even thinking about having fun, though deep down I craved it.
At Emmajane’s first event, something shifted. I left my 'serious businesswoman' persona at the door and reconnected with the playful, giggly part of myself. It felt edgy, but also liberating. Reclaiming that part of me was life-changing, and as I continued to work with Emmajane, I realized that incorporating play wasn’t just fun—it was transformative.
The lessons I learned through play didn’t just affect my personal life—they revolutionised my businesses! Play helped me create a happier, more productive workforce, and it completely shifted my mindset. My nervous system is more relaxed, which allows me to lead more effectively and embrace life with joy.
Play really does change everything, and Emmajane is the absolute Queen of Play. If you're ready for a true shift in how you live and lead, I can't recommend her enough!"

"The first time I experienced Emmajane's magic was during a morning game session at a retreat in Bali, and it was unforgettable! In just 30 minutes, I had more fun than I had in years, and the connection and bond it created among everyone there were incredible. As someone who regularly attends conferences and works in the corporate world, my immediate thought was, “This is exactly what we all need!”
I was so energised and inspired by the power of play that I invited Emmajane to run play experiences for me and my fellow entrepreneurs. Now, I’m a firm believer in the transformative impact of play and convinced that every leader and workplace should bring it back to work!"

“Having spent most of my career in government roles, I've attended numerous management and leadership trainings that often felt boring, rigid and dry. I attended Emmajane’s Leadership training for personal and professional reasons as I was also stepping into starting my own business where I would be leading and speaking in front of people and facilitating workshops.
Emmajane's Leadership training was a game-changer for me, blending personal growth with professional development in a way that felt truly transformative.
Unlike traditional trainings, Emmajane's approach was refreshingly dynamic, hands-on and fun! She seamlessly integrated adult learning principles by immersing us in practical exercises that allowed immediate application and deep reflection. This experiential learning style not only boosted my confidence in leadership and public speaking but also empowered me to authentically articulate my why and vision.
I shared with Emmajane afterwards, “You should bring this to the corporate space—they need this kind of engagement and connection. It would create a safe space for people to really communicate!”
Emmajane's training isn't just about learning; it's about embracing a culture of connection that fuels genuine growth and success. I'm grateful for the invaluable skills and newfound confidence I've gained, making me a more effective leader in both my current role and as I venture into entrepreneurship."

How to Make Giving Feedback a Fun Game
How to Make Giving Feedback a Fun Game
Let’s face it—feedback is a word that makes most people shudder. But what if feedback didn’t have to be this stiff, uncomfortable process? Imagine a workplace where feedback is fun, playful, and something people actually look forward to!
When we reframe feedback as a game, something magical happens: engagement skyrockets, creativity blooms, and real, lasting change takes hold.
Ready to shake up the way you think about feedback? Let me introduce you to the concept of fun feedback—an approach that can transform how your leadership team communicates and collaborates. It’s all about breaking free from the stale, fear-inducing methods of the past and embracing something more energetic, open, and yes… fun!
And, spoiler alert: You don’t have to figure it out on your own. I’ve created a Free Leadership Games Playbook packed with easy-to-implement games and fun feedback practices to help you bring a playful twist to your workplace.
Ready to dive in? Let’s explore how fun feedback can create lasting change in your organization.
From Tension to Play: The Fun Feedback Revolution
Traditionally, feedback feels like a performance review—a tense moment when you brace yourself for the dreaded "constructive criticism." But when we make feedback playful, we completely change the dynamic. Suddenly, it’s not about pointing out flaws but about unlocking potential. Playful feedback is like adding a dash of creativity and curiosity to your interactions.
Picture this: instead of a sit-down feedback session, your team gets together to play a game that not only builds connections but also encourages honest, meaningful conversations. Fun feedback works because it engages people. They’re no longer afraid of what they’ll hear; they’re excited to learn, experiment, and grow.
Why Fun Feedback Is a Game-Changer (Literally)
Incorporating play into feedback isn’t just for kicks—it creates real change. Here’s why fun feedback sticks:
No More Defense Mode: People naturally lower their guard when they’re having fun. Fun feedback allows teams to receive input without feeling attacked, opening the door to real transformation.
It’s Incredibly Engaging: Games, playful challenges, and interactive feedback sessions pull people in, sparking excitement. It’s the difference between a draining meeting and one that has people buzzing with energy.
Play Encourages Experimentation: When feedback feels like an experiment rather than a critique, employees are more likely to take risks and try new approaches. Innovation thrives in this environment!
Stronger Team Connections: Fun feedback fosters trust, empathy, and collaboration. When you bring humour and play into feedback sessions, it builds bonds between team members, leading to more cohesive and creative teams.
Fun Feedback in Action: Ideas to Get You Started
Now, here’s where things get exciting. Let’s talk about how to bring fun feedback into your workplace. Here are a few playful ideas to transform your next feedback session:
Feedback Bingo: Who says feedback can’t be a game? Hand out bingo cards with different types of feedback—like “new idea,” “constructive critique,” or “team shoutout.” The first person to fill out a row gets a small prize. It turns feedback into a dynamic, team-driven activity.
Role-Reversal Feedback: Shake things up by letting employees and leaders switch roles. Imagine the insights when employees give feedback to their managers in a playful “If I were in your shoes...” format. It’s fun, it’s eye-opening, and it levels the playing field.
Spin-the-Wheel Feedback: Create a feedback wheel with categories like “Something I appreciate about you” or “A fun challenge for next week.” Spin the wheel and let the fun (and feedback) begin!
Post-it Praise: Keep it simple but impactful. Scatter colourful Post-its around the office where people can write and leave quick feedback or praise for their colleagues. These small acts of appreciation keep feedback light, fun, and continuous.
All of these activities—and many more—are packed into my free Leadership Games Playbook! It’s designed to give you the tools to inject fun into your feedback processes and create a more connected, engaged team.
Why Fun Feedback Creates Lasting Change
Playful feedback doesn’t just create a better atmosphere; it leads to long-term transformation. People stop fearing feedback and start seeking it out. It becomes part of your culture, fostering a growth mindset where employees are curious, open, and motivated to improve.
Plus, when feedback is fun, it becomes consistent. It’s no longer a one-time event or something reserved for annual reviews—it’s part of everyday conversations. Teams build a culture where feedback is a natural, ongoing process. And when it’s delivered in a playful way, it’s much more likely to stick.
Grab Your Free Leadership Games Playbook!
