          <jats:p>Play belongs in the workplace—and not just in the break room. In this thought-provoking and delightfully practical guide, Rona Lewis—corporate consultant and renowned Play Instigator—demonstrates why Purposeful and Attuned Play is not child’s play, but a powerful lever for business success. Blending research from neuroscience, psychology, and organizational behavior with real-world stories and actionable tools, Play and Profit explores how play impacts key drivers of success: innovation, adaptability, stress reduction, leadership, collaboration, communication, and more.</jats:p>
          <jats:p>Whether you're guiding a Fortune 500 company through change, teaching future business leaders, or building a healthier organizational culture, you’ll discover why play is not a distraction—but a catalyst for performance and wellbeing. Along the way, you’ll learn how to distinguish between authentic play and “forced fun,” how to foster psychological safety, and how to design playful, engaging environments that unlock creativity and trust.</jats:p>
