Rebecca Kravitz, sales professional and co-founder of Meople, is here to share how games can grab prospects' attention and help increase deal velocity.

After seeing how amazed he was by it, they decided to build customizable gaming software for the B2B world.She believes that sales is all about active listening and understanding the challenges, needs, and persona of the buyer. Board games allow companies and sellers to listen to their customers and provide solutions to them. Bringing Gaming Into the Sales ProcessRebecca says it's best to bring gaming into the sales process at the beginning, immediately following a call. You can provide a demo so they can get a feel for the customized board game and how your product benefits them.Another perfect time to use it in the sales process is when the deal is stalling and you need to make it move faster through the pipeline.Also, you don't have to come up with the game rules; Meople does all of that for you.How Can Meople Help Close More Deals?Building customizable games for your prospects—how on earth is this better than traditional sales methods?Rebecca shares that Meople is like a specialized gift for your prospects.

In this episode of the Young Dad podcast, host Jewell Young welcomes back Dr. Matt Zakreski, a clinical psychologist specializing in neurodivergent individuals. They discuss the importance of community for dads, the unique needs of gifted and neurodivergent children, and the challenges of navigating school systems. Dr. Matt shares insights from his new book, 'The Neurodiversity Playbook,' which aims to provide practical strategies for parents and educators. The conversation emphasizes the significance of emotional intelligence in parenting and offers tools for effective communication with children. Takeaways Community is essential for dads, especially those who are neurodivergent. Gifted children require different support, not better support. Understanding your rights as a parent is crucial in advocating for your child. Emotional authenticity helps in co-regulating with children. Dads should actively participate in their child's education and advocacy. Curiosity over anger fosters better communication with children. Practical tools, like the bubbles test, can help manage emotions. Using games like Uno can teach emotional language to kids. The Neurodiversity Playbook offers accessible strategies for families. Creating a supportive environment is key to a child's success.

We are joined by Signe White, Ellie Lutz, and Keith Peters, who all serve in camp ministry, to talk about how to use games for teaching, community building, and more.

You might think death and gaming are not connected. But loss is always a part of games as pieces and elements are lost. Some elements of games are fairly abstract (Uno cards or chess pieces), but other elements can be very personal, such as a character you've played for years in D&D or in a legacy type game such as Gloomhaven. Games also address death through theme and content: One Night Werewolf has players killing each other; Village has meeples age and die, to be moved to the graveyard; Endurance face nearly certain death even as a miraculous escape remains possible (Shackleton achieved it, after all!). Such gaming experiences give us vital ways of thinking about and discussing death and grief, as well as suggesting ways of facing our own mortality. How is death represented in games? * It is the nature of games to abstract reality. How to abstract death? * Simplest example perhaps is chess - the piece is removed from the board for the rest of the game * The state is permanently changed for the rest of the game * But we don't care about chess pieces - we care about humans and living creatures (maybe trees?), so games that evoke humanlike characters make us feel loss in powerful ways A word about grief * Grief is a natural & important and unavoidable response to loss * This is not a look at grief, except perhaps tangentially. Interesting examples of death in games * Village - cemetery, legacy * Werewolf - you are out of the game and watch what is happening to everyone else * Games that poke at death in a humorous or horror way - Zombies, etc. * Legacy games where the state is permanently changed even from one game to another * Art games (like the kind Alice Connor enjoys) that represent the emotions of death? Train and Endurance. How do we feel about death in games? When we die or kill off another player? Lessons of faith from death in games * The importance of being present to the moment * Parent and child with potentially fatal cancer playing games together during treatments. Forgetting the treatments. The gift of games is to anchor us in the present. * The permanence of death - Ways of coping when states permanently change * On the other hand, the impermanence of death - Perhaps what Buddhists call the illusion of death?? Life continues. Another wave forms on the ocean. * Reminder of John Glynn * How easily we can become numb to death—precisely by abstracting it—in real life.

This week, we're talking about gamification in healthcare. Gamification has been a popular buzzword in tech and in health, but it just means using elements we associate with games in non-game contexts. It means capitalizing on the motivations we find in games through things like progress updates and level-up badges to change behaviors and get us to do things that are going to be good for our health. Today on the show, we're talking to two founders who are gamifying the healthcare experience in two unique ways. The first conversation is with Raj Amin, CEO & Co-founder of Arcade Therapeutics, a company that has been in the StartUp Health community since TK. They are a science-first game studio developing games that act like medicine, focusing on mental health. We'll hear exactly what they're building and why clinical research is key to their approach. Then we'll hear from Farhaneh Ahmadi, PhD, CEO & Co-founder of eddii, a company that is part of our T1D Moonshot. She and her team are using mobile gaming elements to help young people with their Type 1 diabetes management. Her company uses a character named eddii that talks to the user, tells them stories, and plays games with them – making it more relatable and more enjoyable to manage diabetes.

In this episode, Michael speaks with Eric Klopfer, the chair of the department of Comparative Media Studies and Writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT. At MIT Eric is also the director of the Scheller Teacher Education program as well as the Education Arcade. Eric is a leader in the space of game design for education. He recently co-authored a book on the subject: Resonant Games, Design Principles for Learning Games that Connect Hearts, Minds and the Everyday. During the conversation, Eric discusses games as an example of experiential learning and emphasizes the importance of combining a game exercise with reflection, which is where the real learning happens through what Eric calls an action-reflection cycle. Eric and Michael also discuss the game that originally led Michael to speak to Eric: a simulation of the tragedy of the commons in a fishery, which Eric led the development of. In addition to this episode, Michael discusses his implementations of this game in a recent blog post on the In Common website. You can find more about this game and Eric's work at this web address: https://education.mit.edu/project-type/games/

Colleen Macklin is a game designer and a Professor in the School of Art, Media and Technology at Parsons School of Design and author of Iterate: Ten Lessons in Design and Failure. She's interested in how games model and reveal ideologies through systems. And, incidentally, she reports she was recently diagnosed with ADHD, which makes her doubly cool in our crowd. She joins us today to talk about games and gaming and neurodiversity.We explore a wide range of topics, from the impact of ADHD on Colleen's life and teaching to her love for games and game design. Colleen shares her thoughts on how games can engage attentional deficits and embrace a broad neurodiversity spectrum. She also shares her journey with the game design collective Local No. 12 and their creations, including the videogame "Dear Reader.”Playing games helps us to rediscover playfulness in our lives no matter your age. If there's one thing we hope you'll walk away from this episode thinking about it's that you have the opportunity — the gift — that is creating more play in your own life everyday. You don't have to be a tabletop gamer, or a programmer in the video game field.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How my view on using games for EA has changed, published by mmKALLL on August 5, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Last year I wrote a post about the effectiveness of making a video game with the intent of inducing EA ideas naturally through gameplay. The game got released on Steam and received positive impressions, so I wanted to follow up with the results. Although I was originally quite optimistic about using games (and other forms of art) for EA, my current thinking has changed. First of all, the original estimates had various flaws: 1) Combining confidence intervals also increases the uncertainty of the variable. Thus none of the calculations were actually conclusive. 2) I underestimated the amount of effort/luck needed for marketing, and overestimated the expected number of players. 3) Although the game received praise for its depth, in 10 follow-up interviews none of the reviewers reported having changed their behavior or thinking as a result of playing it. Since only around a thousand players experienced the main part of the game, having spent a whole year on it seems inefficient. Additional effort also seems unlikely to greatly improve the outcome. Given this I'm now less confident about whether game development can be reasonably pursued from an EA perspective. The effects don't seem tractable, it's very difficult to know what will be meaningful during development, there's loads of work that's not relevant to the intended message, and any larger influence requires a disproportionately lucky hit in the market. As far as I know, it also seems that the people behind/ and/ have experienced similar problems, more or less abandoning their EA+gaming projects. (Although I haven't been able to confirm the exact reasons yet.) That being said, I do still think the medium has lots of unexplored potential, it just seems very difficult for game developers to utilize. My guess is that people in lead design, director, and producer roles at large studios seem much more likely to be able to induce relevant insights for (a large number of) players. In comparison, spending lots of time and money for an indie game just to temporarily influence a handful of players doesn't seem like a very effective endeavor. Personally, I made the decision to focus more on AI alignment moving forward. It seems more immediate, more important, more tractable, has much higher marginal impact, and could also benefit from shifts in cultural norms. I'd like to recommend looking into it if you're at all interested. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

Mike Steiner found himself on Penn's campus at a young age not really knowing what he was supposed to do next. Thanks to helpful roommates, he started to figure out how to take advantage of the opportunities around him. He started getting more interested in math, statistics, and finance. He eventually ended up interviewing in New York and ending up at the famous training firm Susquehanna Investment Group (SIG). As a part-time trainer at first and then in a more central role, Mike started to experiment with different ways of teaching things like market making, probability, thinking in bets, and the behaviors needed to "make it" in the trading pits.This conversation was a delight and I think you'll enjoy it. We cover: Ending up at Penn and not really knowing what he was going to do Figuring out he enjoyed math and finance Getting a job at SIG Joining the training team Leaving finance to spend more time with his kids Becoming a high school teacher How he thinks about teaching & mentorship His 20-year journey in creating his game "Stockslam" Prefer Video?

We create games for organisations that are learning games, communication games that we provide to our clients to help them to facilitate conversations around lots of different topics. These conversations could be around health and safety, company values, vision, strategy, all of those different types of areas. My guest reached out to me because he's someone who is interested in board games, it's his passion. When I got into a conversation with him I found out that not only was he interested in playing board games, he was actually bringing them into the workplace to create culture change, but he didn't call it that.

Paul Lee, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Synesis One, combined his love of games with a passion for NLP and AI. He realized language ontologies can be developed by players solving problems in games. They can be rewarded with NFTs backed by tokens on a blockchain.

Listen to Alex and Cody chat about "Extracting the Pedagogy: Using Games as Texts in the Language Classroom" by Alex Hogue. Published June 7, 2021 in Analog Game Studies: https://analoggamestudies.org/2021/06/extracting-the-pedagogy-using-games-as-texts-in-the-language-classroom/

Need a tool to bring games into your classroom? Let's check out one created by a student who saw a way to play the game just a little bit better. Introduction to Gimkit.

Learn how to make games, play, and fun part of your homeschool with special guest Jessica Waldock from The Waldock Way. Jessica has a special game plan (get it?) where she chooses one academic subject each day to learn through games. If a week goes by when they haven't used games, then they have a full day of games! Gameschooling can be board and card games, but it can also be play in general like having your children jump when they answer a math problem instead of using a worksheet. ★★★ LISTENER COUPON CODE Request your coupon code to use on any purchase at bookshark.com. Thanks to show sponsor BookShark. Request a homeschool curriculum catalog or download samples at bookshark.com. QUOTABLES Jessica: "But as homeschool moms, we tend to never feel like we're doing enough. And playing a game definitely doesn't feel like enough. But it really is more than enough. And 9 times out of 10, even better than whatever the lesson you were going to do." Jessica: "I'm still hoping, through middle school, to hold to my one game a day for subject or scrap a whole day and play. That's the thing I'm hoping to hold myself to forever." Jessica: "...there's this hurdle to jump over, to learn a new game... 'Oh man, I have to learn this new game,' which is so funny if you think about it.

Students have a lot to tell us about how we can help them be successful and listening is essential. They also appreciate it when we take the time to make learning fun. We interviewed Tricia Seifert, Ph. D., Associate Professor of Adult and Higher Education for Montana State University, Researcher and Author on the Supporting Student Success Blog, and CEO of Success Prints, LLC. We discuss her research and the importance of students being involved in the process as well as how their feedback has led to the creation of a fun board game that helps students transition from K-12 to college. Engineerica's solution, AccuCampus, is built to engage, track, and retain students. Learn more here.
