Kick off your shoes and leave the workday at the door — it’s time for another round of L&D Happy Hour! So what are we up to this time? Well, we’re talking all about:
Why playfulness isn’t just for kids
How rest fuels creativity (and why a nap isn’t the only answer)
Breaking out of “all work, no play” culture
The small shifts that make big creative breakthroughs possible
From Lego Serious Play to silent brainstorming and spaces designed to spark fresh thinking, Shannon and Deborah explore how a playful mindset can transform teams, learning experiences, and even whole organizations. Along the way, they share real-world examples, personal stories, and practical tips for weaving play into work in ways that stick.
So pour a drink and get ready to:
Rethink how your team brainstorms
Design learning spaces that inspire, not stifle
Connect rest and play as part of your creative toolkit
Push back on “traditional” work environments holding people back
Because it wouldn’t be Happy Hour without the Happy, here are our Frosty Adult Beverage (FAB) picks:
Deborah: Watermelon Cucumber Cooler – Fresh, light, and just the right mix of playful and refreshing.
Shannon: Sparkling Hibiscus Limeade – A tart-meets-sweet sip with a vibrant pop of color.
