On today’s episode of 22 Motivational Minutes, HR influencer and “play” expert Jeff Harry shares how you can make the most of 2020 by using out-of-the-box techniques to get into your zone of genius. During this interview Marlo and Jeff discuss why “play” and “flow” hold the same meaning when it comes to creativity and productivity, how you can release your expectations of 2020 in order to make the most of the time you have, and why every HR department should consider play as a kickstart to growth. Jeff Harry shows individuals and companies how to tap into their true selves, to feel their happiest and most fulfilled — all by playing. He has worked with Google, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, Adobe, the NFL, Amazon, and Facebook, helping their staff to infuse more play into the day-to-day. Jeff is an international speaker who has presented at conferences such as INBOUND, SXSW, and Australia’s Pausefest, showing audiences how major issues in the workplace can be solved using play. He was selected by Engagedly as one of the Top 100 HR Influencers of 2020 and one of the Top HR Influencers to Watch By BambooHR for his organizational development work around addressing toxicity in the workplace. His play work has been featured in the NY Times, AJ+, SoulPancake, the SF Chronicle, and CNN. While we spend most of our time pretending to be important, serious grownups, it's when we let go of that facade and just play, that the real magic happens. Fully embracing your own nerdy genius — whatever that is — gives you the power to make a difference and change lives. Jeff believes that we already have many of the answers we seek, and by simply unleashing our inner child, we can find our purpose and, in turn, help to create a better world.  _______________________ Are you ready to smash your one year goal in 90 days?
