How does play transform workforce dynamics?

Monika Guzek, founder of JoyFlow, challenges conventional workplace wisdom with a refreshing take on organizational resilience. From jumping off a 12-meter waterfall despite her fear of heights to teaching CEOs the power of play, Monica embodies the change-embracing spirit she cultivates in others.

We discuss how play helps executives approach complex problems through creativity rather than pure analysis, and the three essential ingredients of resilience: relationships, sunshine, and nutrition. These fundamentals form the backbone of sustainable workplace well-being, yet are frequently overlooked in favor of complicated wellness programs.

Your workplace doesn't have to wait for a crisis to prioritize well-being—start building that foundation today. Are you ready to transform how your organization approaches resilience and psychological safety? 

Monika Guzek is a speaker, coach, consultant, and Founder of JoyFlow: Success through Joy, Diversity & Resilience. She helps leaders and organizations cultivate inclusive, high-performing cultures where resilience, authenticity, and joy fuel success. Her mission is to help leaders break free from burnout, embrace joy, and harness play as a powerful driver of success and resilience —because the best results come when we are happy and fulfilled.
