Rona is a champion of the inner child! She calls herself a Play Instigator and loves helping corporations improve their culture by guiding employees to ignite ideas and explode productivity and is a leading expert in Purposeful and Attuned Play for improving engagement and motivation. She is also the co-founder and CEO of Playful Mind Project: www.playfulmindproject.com.

Rona doesn’t believe in work/life balance. Work is part of life! So how do you balance it all? It’s about taking time to make time work for you. And above all, having an “attitude of play” that makes life an adventure, not a responsibility.

Rona’s first career was in advertising sales, where her last position was as VP of Sales for a national media rep firm. Noticing an abundance of stress and overwhelm (not to mention a lack of fun and laughter), she left that business to explore ways of bringing joy back to the work environment.

She then went out on her own and became a business consultant for better company culture and employee engagement. Certifications in various aspects of creativity and play followed and her business was launched! Her background includes a degree in Advertising with a minor in Phys. Ed. from Penn State University. Her Play and creativity prowess was helped along by schools such as University of Minnesota and The State University of New York as well as studying under Dr. Gwen Gordon, Ph.D.

As an expert, she’s been a guest on TV and radio shows from San Francisco to New York. Her articles have been featured in Corporate Wellness Magazine, Town and Country Magazine, New York’s Pierless Magazine and more.
