DYNAMIC SPEAKING

Ready to bring some serious fun to your next event?

As a speaker, I bring energy, authenticity, creativity, and impact to the stage, delivering dynamic keynote talks and the facilitation of games that inspire, connect and engage audiences. They’re interactive, energizing experiences designed to get people thinking (and playing!) in new ways. 

With my keynote talks, "Bringing Play Back to Work” and “Leadership Unmasked” I show leaders and teams how to tap into play to reduce burnout, spark innovation, and create a happier, more connected workplace. Drawing from my personal story of overcoming burnout through the power of play and experiencing fulfillment through creative self-expression and authentically relating with others, I empower audiences to embrace play as a tool for unlocking their potential and experiencing true fulfillment in life and work.

Whether you’re seeking to motivate and engage your team or audience, spark creativity, or encourage a shift in perspective, my keynote talks are designed to resonate deeply and leave lasting change. 

And here’s where it gets really fun—I don’t just talk about play: I bring it to life!

I’ll guide your audience through interactive games or playful challenges that instantly shift the energy in the room. These games aren’t just for fun (although they are super fun!), they’re designed to help participants connect, collaborate, and get a hands-on feel for how play can transform their work and relationships.

By the end, your team or audience will be buzzing with excitement, armed with practical tools to bring play back into the workplace and beyond. Expect a talk that’s not only inspiring but also packed with action, laughter, and powerful takeaways that stick long after your event ends!

~ Burnt out, stressed out, or teetering on the edge of it

~ Desperately craving more connection and intimacy in their lives

~ Dreaming of the day when they will have more fun, joy, freedom, adventure, and self-expression

~ Knowing there’s a creative, playful, fun part of them inside just waiting to be expressed

Kylie

CEO and Multiple Business Owner  

"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!"

Kim Yabsley

Corporate Culture Mentor and Archie Speaks CEO 

"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!"

Ty Caling

Environmental Consultant and Business Owner  

“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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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!

If you’re ready to bring the fun into feedback—and see how it can create lasting change in your team—grab my Leadership Games Playbook. It’s full of practical, easy-to-implement games and practices that will transform your feedback process into something your team will look forward to.

Let’s ditch the dread and make feedback an opportunity for connection, growth, and, most importantly—play. Because when feedback is fun, everyone wins!

Download the free Leadership Games Playbook now and start seeing the impact of playful leadership in your workplace. It’s time to level up your feedback game—literally!

If you’re thinking it’s time to create a more collaborative, innovative, and connected workplace, let’s chat! I’d love to show you how playful leadership games can take your team to the next level. Book a call today to discuss how I can help you bring these tools into your workplace—and transform the way your team works together.
