Work Is Broken…Play Can Fix It!

Why does work feel worse now than ever? 85% of workers are disengaged, 81% are job-hunting, 72% feel underpaid, and nearly 80% struggle with work-life balance. These are more than just numbers—they’re the sign of a workforce barely hanging on. Businesses are losing almost $500 billion, with absenteeism, turnover, and accidents spiking. Steven Johnson put it best: “You’ll find the future where people are having fun.” This talk is a call to action for leaders who want to embrace a play-oriented mindset—creating a work environment that celebrates risk, failure, and joyful experiments.
