Trudi is a Playful Experience Designer who specialises in solving problems with play! Working within the intersection of applied improvisation, design thinking and experiential learning, Trudi leans on her Masters of Design Futures and 20 year experience as an arts practitioner to utilise her playful learning theory to boost communication and connection.
She is a professional speaker, coach and writer, working within organisations and government departments to utilise play as a problem solver and leadership tool through workshops, activations or Keynotes. She creates immersive theatre through her theatre company, runs a menagerie household of kids, cats, dogs and fish and believes that playfulness has the capacity to solve some of our most wicked problems.
We've had Trudi back time and time again to present at our Rethink Change Conferences and Masterclasses. She doesn't just speak; but ignites participants with her boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm. Trudi has a magical ability to turn the mundane into a toolkit of practical ideas that reimagine work and culture, and highlight opportunities to deliver increased engagement, productivity, team morale, and a sudden aversion to the phrase 'that's how we've always done it.' In short, Trudi Boatwright doesn't just present; she transforms! Attendees always leave full of ideas to take back to the office, and home. She achieves learning, connection and reignites passion for work we do everyday!
