Lauren Fitzpatrick Shanks is an entrepreneur, award-winning engineer, tech leader, writer, mentor, wife, mother of two, former gymnast and the Founder and CEO of KeepWOL.

KeepWOL is a game-centric talent development platform focusing on the human elements of work that make or break organisations using multiplayer games, AI technology, and end-to-end learning integration. In this episode, Lauren talks about how this strategy can maximise cultural intelligence and build exceptional teams.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Even from an early age, we take on far more knowledge through play than we do through conventional means, such as relaying data and memorising.
We must ask questions that allow people to share what they want of themselves, rather than cornering them into revealing uncomfortable truths.
By allowing participants to provide contextual details, it promotes a sense of belonging, and also enhances empathy, vulnerability and emotional connection.
Curiosity, courage and connection are the keystones of the techniques and methodologies for facilitation.

BEST MOMENTS

'We're focussed on building relationships through play'

'Conversation is a big piece of this'

'Our games feature storytelling to elevate that human experience'

'Build connection by having yourself be vulnerable so that others recognise that they too can be vulnerable'
