April 16, 2020 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET Virtual Free to attend
Fear + Play: A Growth Mindset For Embracing Change

About this session

Volatility feels like the new normal. Leaders are being asked to innovate more quickly and creatively than ever before in order to stay relevant and connected. And it’s no surprise this uncertainty brings up various levels of fear, which we often ignore or avoid altogether.

Instead, how might we work with fear in order to manage change with resilience? How might we hone our agility, spontaneity and storytelling skills in relationship with fear. We do it through play.

Join Guryan Tighe, Founder and Fear Technician at Fourage and Shannon Hughes, Principle Experiential Trainer at Enlivened Studios, for an interactive gathering that explores change management in today’s business through the combined impact of Fear + Play.
