How Conscious Leaders Transform Communication and Creativity

Barometer XP
the science of play at work
Plenary Session

Barometer XP bring the Science of Play to Work, not for fun, but to tap into the power of shared experience and experiential learning! Connection and collaboration are essential ingredients for high performing teams and fully engaged, empowered employees. The interpersonal dynamics in the games closely mirror the dynamics in the workplace (curiosity, decision-making, clarity in communication), leading to powerful A-HA moments and insights. Game-based experiential learning is ideal for catalyzing revelatory conversations, deep learning, and lasting change because each instance represents an opportunity to explore and achieve a specific goal within a given set of parameters.
