Does the Idea of

Making Everything Fun

Sound a Little Radical?

I'm Kathryn Kemp Guylay, MBA, PhD

My work in diverse areas such as management consulting, nonprofit management, and investment banking has taught me that Fun is the Fuel that allows us to sustain our efforts when obstacles inevitably arise. I recognize that life is about challenges that bring about growth and development.

This is true for individuals, teams, organizations, and Fortune 500 companies.

How does FUN fit in?

Scott Belsky, CPO at Adobe and author of The Messy Middle: Finding Your Way Through the Hardest and Most Crucial Part of Any Bold Venture, says that "curiosity is the fuel you need to play the long game". Here is my spin on the subject:

“FUN is the fuel you need
to play the long game.”

I don’t disagree with Belsky about curiosity, but in my decades of work with clients ranging from CEOs & founders, and in my current role as Chief Strategy Officer at Colonnade Island, I have found that fun provides a renewable energy source to survive what can often seem like a Herculean effort to maintain the many long term projects we undertake in life.

FUN HAS THE POWER to allow you and your team to rise to life’s challenges and achieve sustainable success.
