Step onto the playground: immersive workshops and retreats where possibility takes shape.

Where creativity becomes practice.

The playground is where ideas stretch, experiments happen, and people grow — together. My workshops and retreats aren’t lectures; they’re immersive experiences where leaders, teams, and communities test what’s possible. Whether we’re outdoors on a ropes course, in a creative studio, or in a retreat setting, the playground is where curiosity and courage collide.

These aren’t just training sessions. They’re designed to help you practice leadership in real time — experimenting, failing, laughing, and learning side by side. The playground is about creating a safe space for bold play, serious growth, and collective imagination.

The PQ and PLAY in the Playground

Every workshop or retreat is grounded in the Possibility Quotient (PQ):

• Curiosity — stretching into new ideas and perspectives.
• Clarity — pausing long enough to see what matters most.
• Creativity — testing, prototyping, and improvising solutions.
• Community — building trust, belonging, and accountability through shared play.

On the playground, PQ becomes lived experience. It turns theory into action, and action into lasting transformation.

Why Creative Recess?

My roots in creativity go deep — from clogging and theatre in rural Kentucky to research in authentic leadership and arts-based inquiry. Workshops and retreats are where those roots meet practice: blending play, artistry, and leadership theory to create experiences that transform.

Here, failure isn’t final, and creativity isn’t optional. At Creative Recess, both are essential fuel for growth.
