Tracy Clark | Let's Play: The Two Words That Transform Leadership

Tracy Clark discovered that two simple words - "let's play" - consistently transformed her stressed, visionary clients by shifting them from fear into a creative, exploratory mindset. Rather than frivolous activity, play represents a powerful leadership state built on intense curiosity, radical open-mindedness, and proactive experimentation.

Tracy emphasises that effective leadership starts with self-leadership, using her "tree model" where visible strategy and actions (the trunk) must be supported by deeper roots of mindset and self-concept to weather storms. Practical applications include challenging assumptions by asking "what if that's not true?", entering meetings with questions rather than answers, and creating psychological safety for team co-creation.

For skeptics, play isn't about ping pong tables but about removing the "straight jacket" of limitations to use your whole brain - logic plus intuition, imagination, and creativity - ultimately slowing down to speed up through better ideas and breakthrough solutions.
