Can play be the answer to some of our most significant and complex social challenges of the 21st Century? No one cures cancer, solves environmental challenges, or builds inclusion without the ability to play in the unknown and unexplored.Play gives us the inspiration and courage to confront, what do we do when no one has the answer? Play invites us to risk connection in the face of the unexpected and unfamiliar. The ability to imagine solutions to some of our most significant challenges lies in gifts that we already have but that we might have let go of too soon. Reconnect to the best parts of yourself that you may have left on the playground. Play might be one of the most outstanding resume skills you are not including. In play, we are extraordinary It's time to reinstate the power of the do-over. Join me on this journey as I show you that play is worth risking a little of yourself to become more yourself in the process.From the science of play to personal communications with leaders like Seth Godin and Daniel Pink, Brandi Heather takes you on a journey back to childhood. She reminds us all that if we do not face the unexpected, new and unfamiliar as children that we can find ourselves more prone to the fear of change and the unexpected as adults. Brandi Heather is an award-winning Disability and Inclusion Educator and Therapeutic Play Specialist with over 25 years of experience. She utilizes the power of play to navigate diversity, inclusion, change management, self-care, and mental and physical health. She reveals how play is the catalyst to igniting and developing innovation and productivity and the foundation of moving from diversity to belonging.People and organizations that can play in both times of challenge and success will flourish because they have learned how to build from the unexpected and unknown, a skill built first in play.It's like many of the most important things in our culture we don't understand the word we don't understand what marketing means we don't understand what play means. Play is a willingness to not win and still be okay with the journey that's what it is for me. (personal communication, Seth Godin, September 2020) The key is that play involves both taking risks and assuming good intent on the part of others. Both of those are in short supply today. But if we rehabilitate play, we might simultaneously resurrect our ability to get along and trust each other. (personal communication, Daniel Pink, September 2020)What Brandi touches is magic A book that the world has awaited for the longest time. Now is the time to play, if not now, then when?Susanne Mueller, Take it from the Ironwoman (Podcaster, author) Executive Coaching & Consulting, New York & Switzerland.…

We have become less comfortable with uncertainty and the unexpected, less willing to take risks, less able to stay steady under pressure.
We changed how we grow, and it’s starting to show.
Brandi Heather blends research with lived experience to show how perfectionism and our drive for predictability are quietly reshaping how we create, connect, and respond to change.
And how to return to play.
“Play is a willingness to not win and still be ok with the journey.”
Seth Godin, in conversation with the author
