=================================
Simon McPherson is the keynote speaker at Agile Games West!
Simon does not do boring meetings.
* He sees them as an opportunity to help people engage and heaven
forbid even have fun. The mental and physical activity he brings to
the workplace always increases connection, collaboration and
productivity. As an Agile Coach and leader within
Accenture|SolutionsIQ, and a faculty member of the Agile Coaching
Institute, he has been guiding and playing with organizations through
creative learning for the past 8 years. He has spoken at numerous
Agile events such as Agile Leadership Meet 2016 - Bangalore, Mile High
Agile 2018 - Denver, and multiple times at AONW - Seattle/Portland.
Simon's keynote is titled _Playing with purposeful intent_.
* Stop doing icebreakers and energizers just for the sake of doing
them. Bring more coherence into your work through intentional play.
There is so much more available to us when we facilitate with the
knowledge of how to weave emotional intelligence into learning. Strong
facilitation skills and systems awareness are key to making games and
play useful in the workplace. It’s always more than just a game.
Bring all of your brains online - head, heart, and hands - to tap into
the full experience of playing with purposeful intent.
