SPEAKING
Changing organisational culture – one play at a time!
Not just a speaker. An experience.
Play is our evolutionary edge. It’s how we learn, adapt, imagine, and create. In the workplace, it’s also how we beat burnout, boost wellbeing, and keep teams agile and connected.
Play is the cultural glue of the future. Global speaker Trudi Boatwright shows why play, creativity, and imagination aren’t “nice to haves” — they’re your business advantage. Backed by science, packed with practical tools, and delivered with playful energy, Trudi helps organisations turn stress into resilience and disengagement into innovation.
