๐ Ready to Gamify Your Work? ๐
๐ฎ Tired of the same old routine? During the Facilitation Lab hosted by Voltage Control this Thursday at 2 pm ET / 11am PT / 7am NZT , we're turning work into play, and you are invited to play some games with us!
Hello Reader,
Do you sometimes feel that your work is just drudgery?
The industrial revolution conditioned us to see work as toil. But what if we could infuse our tasks with joy, making hard work go by faster, with a dash of fun?
In Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's book, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, he described the state of flow as complete concentration, clarity of goals, and activities that are intrinsically rewarding. This state is not just about doing our best work; it's also about being in a state of play.
Later this week I will be leading a live, interactive virtual workshop for Facilitation Lab, and you are invited. (No cost to attend! Great for facilitators and leaders of all levels.)
๐ What You Can Expect:
- 3 interactive games to beat burnout and increase collaboration
- Gamification techniques that increase performance and productivity
- Fun activities you can use in your own virtual meetings
๐ Join the Fun! Don't miss out on this game-changing workshop.

See you in the game! ๐น๏ธ๐

๐ธ "AI Agents are a multi trillion dollar opportunity.โ - Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA Hello Reader, AI agents are changing the way work gets done. As agentic AI systems become more capable, our real advantage will not come from technical proficiency. Our advantage will come from knowing how to manage AI agents well. The ability to scope agentic projects, manage autonomous systems, evaluate their performance, and design the information environments that make agents effective - these are the...
โ โ The velocity of learning has increased. โ โ Hello Reader, As part of TechWeekNZ, I hosted the EPIC AI Conference in Christchurch on Thursday, 21 May, 2026. There were a dozen speakers and panelists, and lots of practical takeaways. While we did record the sessions (big thanks to Daniel Panjaitan and Greg Dickson for volunteering!) it's a lot of material to digest. You can watch all the replays at this link: https://christchurch-ai.com/epic-ai-conference ...or, you can use NotebookLM to...
