Synopsis

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.

Return To Play shines a light on the science behind a playful mindset and its essential role in improving childhood resilience and coping, diversity, inclusion, change management, and overall well-being.

She champions the belief that those who know how to be "in play"—embracing the unknown and navigating the unexpected—will not only survive but flourish.Through challenges and uncertainties, Brandi teaches that embracing play leads to innovation and resilience.

"Return to Play" doesn't just change perceptions; it morphs stigmas into strengths, providing organizations with a potent formula to rejuvenate their compassion-led workforce and create inclusive, adaptable places to lean and grow. Packed with evidence-based research, and tools you can use right way, this seminal work will revolutionize the way you perceive work and play.
