Play isn’t the opposite of work - it’s the key to doing it better. This week, we’re joined by leadership coach, facilitator, and performance activist Sarah Filman (she/they), founder of Playful Perspectives and co-founder of The Improv Mindset. We talk about the role of play in leadership, team culture, and personal growth, and why it’s more than ping-pong tables and happy hours. From breaking out of status-quo thinking to loosening your grip on control, Sarah shares how play can shift power, spark creativity, and create safer, more collaborative workplaces. We also dig into practical tools, including her 52-card Playful Perspectives deck, and how to start bringing play into your own life and leadership in small, meaningful ways.
