Daniel Teitelbaum, lead facilitator at Playful Thinking, helps people and organizations think more playfully. In this episode, he shares:

* The importance of play
* How play improves innovation, creativity, inclusion, collaboration, and idea generation
* How he uses game design theory to help organizations improve
* How to incorporate play into your work (and life)

Obviously, I’m a big fan of this conversation because I’m always looking for ways to play bigger, do better, and move the world. Please share this episode with others who will enjoy Daniel’s ideas.
