Hub Coworking Workshop Room

For too long most of us have seen play and work as opposites. Nothing could be further from the truth and now science proves play is serious business. In this interactive workshop you will learn how play can lift the spirit, clear the mind, and fuel the emotions.

What it results in, is getting the job done faster and better and leaving your customers feeling great about you. You will leave this session having discovered your emotional signature and how to make your work feel like play!

Steve Rix, CEO of Playlab, has dedicated his life to becoming a Human Capital Wizard: He believes investing in the mental well-being of people is the most important mandate of the coming years.

Steve has spent three decades honing his skills as an expert in employee engagement. From start-ups to fortune 100 companies, Steve has provided coaching and consulting to help teams perform at their highest levels. Through the ebbs and flows of his own entrepreneurial journey, he has provided invaluable insight to corporate leadership, organizational health, and cultural vitality.

Ten years ago, Steve began experimenting with play in the workplace as the highest state of effectiveness and efficiency. From coaching and consulting, to focus groups and beta testing, over 400 unique case studies lead Steve has worked with teams to dynamically change the workplace.

Today, Millennials and Gen Z are demanding that employers treat the workplace like an experience that invests in the wellbeing of the humans at work. One that honors people over profits, will ultimately prove to be a win for all involved. If companies want to win the battle of attrition, the culture they build must create real value and connection for the future of their workforce and they must do it now.
