Some may not know this about me: I ran hurdles in high school. There’s something incredibly satisfying about clearing a stretch of obstacles with speed and finesse. I was also fortunate to be coached by athletes who competed at an Olympic level themselves. With good coaching, I often placed first in my races, which is why I get so excited whenever the summer Olympics arrive. The events beautifully combine athletes’ backstories, international travel, world competition, and technological innovation. Whew…I still get butterflies just watching it all unfold! But what does this have to do with leadership? While the world fawns over photo finishes, those in the know focus on the start. There’s an intriguing story about the start, thanks to a sprinter from a bygone era. The story of Charlie Booth and his revolutionary starting blocks offers valuable lessons about setting the stage for success. Curious how Booth’s innovation exudes leadership? Read my article, “Hit The Ground Running,” and discover key lessons from Booth’s journey that will inspire you to create the right conditions for yourself, your team, or your business to thrive. #Leadership #Innovation #Success #Teamwork #StartingBlocks #CharlieBooth #SummerOlympics

What an incredible two weeks! Last Friday, I wrapped up my first Playmaker Game Design Camp. How did we do? I’m still going through all the great photos we’ve taken, but I think this picture says it all. Seeing kids come out of their shells as they unveiled their games and the gratitude from parents as they played… priceless. When creating the Playmaker program, I wasn’t sure how it would resonate with the kids. We had a range of ages and skill sets, and game design is deep, rich, and complex. But kids everywhere consume games at a high rate. So, I met them where they were, taking a people-first approach to introduce them to game design. The draw of games is evident, but do they know why they are so compelling? During the camp, I emphasized the importance of creating a good story and conflict. We talked about the mechanics of a great game. Whether building a game with paper or with code, I encouraged them to move from overthinking to building together so we could physically playtest their ideas. And then we playtested again. And again! Each time learning and making the games better. The proudest moment? There were times when, given the choice to play Nintendo or be on their phones, they chose to play the board games they created with each other. Score! And speaking of playtesting… I need to transition into my upcoming game release for Jubileague. I will indeed review my notes and photos to do a proper recap of this experience with those who helped me pull this off. Then we’ll plan for the next iteration. So stick close! We have a winner in Playmaker, and you’ll be seeing more of it. Keep creating the future you want to live in!
