Ep. 21 - Ok, People, Back to Work....Right After This Fun Break!

It’s been said that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” (let’s include Jill in there too!).Executive coach, workplace trainer, and organizational consultant Blake Cohen believes that professional playfulness has a powerful impact on employee retention, workplace satisfaction, and overall productivity.Laughing and feeling connected at work is key to reducing burnout—yet so many companies still believe they can’t be “serious” and joyful at the same time.In this episode of From Mayhem to Mindset, Blake (also a doctoral student in Leadership and Organizational Psychology at William James College) joins Dr. Laura Ellick to unpack what’s broken in modern workplace culture—and what leaders can do to change it.You’re in for a fun and insightful conversation!Watch Blake’s TEDx talk here: The Power of Professional Playfulness
