This isn’t about adding fun.
It’s about something deeper:
Using playfulness as a tool for clarity, energy, and adaptability – especially when pressure is high.
The Foundation Course is for leaders, coaches, facilitators, and changemakers who want a science-backed, high-impact introduction to playful leadership.
Learn the core ideas in your own time. Then join Chris Marshall live to bring them to life in your world.
