this.us.now. offers playful professional development opportunities for leaders and teams. We are experts in the practical applications of learning through play. Play is an underrated and underutilized tool that can empower people to build safer, more inclusive, and more equitable spaces and communities

When done well, playful environments provide low-barrier entry points for addressing complicated/nuanced subjects and building strong, trusting, and productive relationships. If people are able to play, they can more easily dive into co-creation, understanding, and progress – even when coming from dramatically different perspectives, experiences, or backgrounds. We create spaces for shared experiences and low-stakes, playful practice, in order to focus on areas of growth like leadership / team development, diversity and inclusion, organizational strategy, and communication. Theory is nothing without application; so, we teach and inform, but also invite people to play and practice with us.
