Portia Tung is an Executive & Personal Coach, an Executive Agile Coach, a Play Researcher, and a Keynote Speaker. I had the pleasure to have her on Le Podcast for an amazing episode on the gift of play.

In this episode with Portia, you will learn:

a lot about the kind of question a coach can ask,
about The Dream Team Nightmare, a novel where your decisions determine the outcome of the story,
how to efficiently introduce each other in one-on-ones,
what a dream job can be,
the connection between play and creativity,
Play: How It Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul by Stuart M. Brown Jr.
the 5 Rs of playful leaders,
and why they can be offered to lead transformations,
how to introduce play in a serious work environment (spoiler, you can use other words, like simulation for example),
the XPGame,
the Deming Red Bead Experiment, and how I played it during a conference,
about bringing your whole self at work,
working assumptions on leadership,
and much more!
