Play. Something we all did as children, but as we grow older, it's less and less common to see, and even more so within the workplace. Play is often seen as the opposite of work.
But what about if your job was to help unlock the potential, and you encourage play to do that in the workplace? Well, earlier this year, Adam Lawrence and Marcos Edgar Hormess, who I've worked with for many years, mentioned to me about a new play kit that they were involved in creating with Playmobil Pro.
And I bought the full pro kit myself out of my own money. So this isn't an advert. I paid for this kit myself. But once I got it, I hit a few stumbling blocks. And I wasn't entirely sure how to weave it into my sessions or my workshops with my clients. Now, Frank, the MD of PlayMobile Pro, who I spoke to earlier in this year on the podcast, was awesome and connected me with today's guest, Juan Prego.
Now, on the topic of play, I've been a big fan of Miro for many, many years. It's the tool of choice for my online workshops. And they've kindly sponsored today's episode. And the sessions and learning experience that I provide for my clients are always fun. And I put this down to the utilizing of Miro's fun features inside their tool.
And I can really curate whatever experience I want to have within my canvases. Now Miro are helping us out. By sponsoring this episode, as I said, so if you want to show some love, why not check out what they've been doing by visiting Miro. com forward slash podcast, or by clicking the link in the description or show notes, depending on where you're listening or watching this episode.
Now, if you are listening, did you know that you can watch this episode on our YouTube channel? People are absolutely loving the fact that they can see the guests chat about things. So be sure to subscribe if you can get a chance and check out our YouTube channel. Back to Juan. He's produced an awesome book, Play Like a Pro, that is due out later this year in 2023 in English.
And I have a copy of it and it's awesome. It's great to hear Juan though in this episode talk about how he recommends weaving methods like Playmobil Pro into his sessions. Is it as simple as just cutting and pasting? And also cover off his thoughts regarding Playmobil Pro versus LEGO Serious Play etc.
There's a debate in the community on which is best. Not much of a debate anyway.
Let's jump straight in.

Today on the show we have a very special guest, Mollie, of Irish with Mollie Instagram fame. Now Mollie is from Dublin and has been on a mission to spread the love of my native language, Irish, or as we say in Ireland, Gaeilge. To give you a very brief background on our history in Ireland, we spoke Irish up until the British rule, and it wasn't until the early 1900s and 1916 that we regained our independence, but we never regained our native tongue fully.
It's now spoken only in parts in Ireland, and even though it is mandatory in schools. Many in my generation really had little or no appreciation of its beauty. Now Molly's gifted me access to her courses and I'm about to start taking her courses. So who knows, you might start to hear me weave a few words here and there into the podcast.

Many of you will have heard of Ikigai, the Japanese concept of aligning our lives to our purpose, something I am deeply involved with at the moment on my coaching programmes. Hector has written two of the best selling books on this topic, and is based in Japan himself. In this conversation, I get into areas of the methods that Hector suggests, but also does himself. By the end of this conversation, you will understand not only what Ikigai is, but also how to start weaving it's principles into your day to day life.
We became fast friends on this episode, and have invited Hector back onto the podcast in a few months to catch up.

Hey folks and welcome to another cracking episode on This is HCD.
Way back in 2017, I caught up with Greg Bernarda, Co-author of the best selling innovation book, Value Proposition Design by Strategyzer. I've known Greg for a long time, and in this episode we reflect on where the time between books, where he sees Value Proposition Design and also the Business Model Canvas in the current world.
I truly respect Greg's mind and brain as one of the best thinkers around, and so too do Thinkers50 - a regular speaker at the their events. We tap into the work he's being doing around Leading Ecosystems, vs products or services. We speak about what business model's look like within organisations at the macular and also at scale.
If you are working in spaces where you are trying to nudge the system towards becoming more customer or human-led, I think you will get a lot from this episode
Now, before we jump in, today's episode is brought to you by our good friends at MIRO. I use MIRO on nearly all of my online training sessions with clients. I want to tell you why. In today's digital age, remote work is becoming increasingly common. MIRO is built with remote collaboration in mind, enabling teams to collaborate effectively, no matter where they are. One of the features that I haven't actually used until recently was the video conferencing feature from inside the application. This takes is to the next level!and think you will like it too
