Why work with us?

We are Soft on Workplace Training.

Soft skills— decision-making and problem-solving; the ability to gather and process information; the ability to work in a team; and the ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work— are essential skills for success in virtually any job occupation across all industries.

Moreover, current workforce trends— the advent of AI tools, the adoption of hybrid work environments, an increasingly intergenerational workforce, and maximizing output through shift work— has cranked up the need for effective soft skills training from important to critical. The organization that invests in the soft skills of its workforce will not only adapat to dynamic market conditions, but also seize on market opportuntities.

With our services, you will improve your workplace to a culture that is purpose-driven, trusting, and open in its communication. Through our workshops, retreats, and small group coaching:

  • Evolve management styles from command-and-control to empowering;

  • Upgrade management styles to harness the positive benefits of hybrid work environments while also providing adequate support to employees; and

  • Evolve performance evaluation from an outdated, academic-based system to a system  that is embedded in the management process and harnesses peer effects.

 When you commit to long term success and implement Small Group Coaching within your organization (shifts begin to take place after 6+ months of consistent Coaching), we deliver results you can see.

  • Reduced staff turnover

  • Higher team productivity

  • Improved customer service

  • Faster implementation of procedure changes

Meet Tom Harrison:

“While operating a retail storefront these past two years, it became clear that I had far more fun connecting with visitors than selling shiny new product. I am closing MyMytoyStore as a retail storefront to fully launch Planet Mynd Play Lab. Planet Mynd realizes my core belief in the transformative power of play. Through in-person play events, workshops, educational demos, and blaster club, Planet Mynd will show how active play always beats passive content consumption, that in-person is always better than virtual, and that hanging out over a beer is always better AFTER play, not instead of.

Play naturally teaches us to live communally with one another and calms our nervous systems. It’s also really, really fun! Planet Mynd will allow me to use my 52 years of life experience— comic book reader, sci-fi & fantasy reader, D&D player (always warrior/thief), Division 1 swimmer, Ivy League economics graduate, litigation attorney, father, marketer, trauma survivor, academic coach, corporate facilitator, public speaker, swimming coach, corporate trainer, event organizer, community organizer, fiction writer, and now foam dart blaster modder— and pour it into play events and game experiences that will light up the best parts of ourselves.

Meet Mo Smith:

Mo is on a mission to help humans step into the authentic leaders that they are. She is a Coach, Energy Healer, Speaker, Retreat Facilitator and Podcast Host. She graduated from the University of Washington with her Masters in Social Work and has been manifesting her visions ever since. She has been teaching, leading retreats and speaking for 10 years now. She started I love it when in July of 2020 and works with a variety of companies, entrepreneurs and community members. Mo brings her passion, energy and presence to everything she does- and she is known for being relentless in her pursuit.
"Attending Mo's workshop was a transformative experience for both me and my team. I learned how crucial it is to prioritize self-care in order to be a more effective leader. One key takeaway for me was the realization that by nurturing myself, I can lead others with greater clarity and compassion. I am excited to incorporate Sound Baths and Yoga into my routine as a way to maintain balance and ensure I am always bringing my best self to the table. Mo is incredible and has such valuable insights. My team and I have already felt such a positive shift this week! I HIGHLY recommend!"

Four Challenges for the Work Place:

  • AIQ stands for artificial intelligence quotient and was first used to refer to an AI’s ability to perform specific tasks. Over the years, the term has evolved to refer to an organization’s readiness and capability to effectively deploy and leverage AI.

  • Hybrid work is a flexible work model that supports a blend of in-office, remote, and on-the-go workers. It offers employees the autonomy to choose to work wherever and however they are most productive.

  • In the simplest terms, a multi-generational workforce is any team with employees from at least two different age groups. Typically, the teams you'll see include members from: Baby Boomers (born 1946–1964) Generation X (born 1965–1980)

  • Shift work is an employment practice designed to keep a service or production line operational at all times. The practice typically sees the day divided into shifts, set periods of time during which different groups of workers perform their duties. The term "shift work" includes both long-term night shifts and work schedules in which employees change or rotate shifts.
