PLAYGROUND RULES

E-Learning Solution

Begin your journey to actualize your potential.

Go in with the play mindset

The rules are simple: respect your team, include others, and trust each other. The quickest way to get someone on your team is to let them know you’re on theirs. We all learned back in our first days on the playground that people like to play with others who are positive, respectful, and kind. It’s no different from when we show up as a leader in the workplace.

To succeed together is to build a cohesive and connected team with mutual respect and kindness while inspiring accountability. Consistency develops trust, and persistency shows commitment. Be transparent, honest, and foster trust. Nothing will get accomplished if people do not trust their leaders, each other, and their company’s purpose. Practicing positive intent reduces stressful misunderstandings and miscommunications. It is as much a habit as it is a mindset. As a result, team members will feel more comfortable with each other, which drives collaboration.
  • Be Kind

    Sculpt a cohesive and connected team with mutual respect, trust and accountability within an inclusive workplace.

  • Get In the Sandbox

    Identify the vision and mission of the company and adopt the values to develop trust and gain commitment from your team.

  • Positive Intent

    Make it a habit to assume the positive intentions of others. It is a mindset that can improve work and personal relationships.
