About Guardianship Training and Consultancy

 Dan Houghton - CEO, Lead Training & Play Technician

"I look at the business like I look at life. If it isn't something I am going to enjoy then why would I want to engage in it? 

I use that looking glass also from my learner or a client point of view. As a father of 2 young kids, everything is "how do I engage them, how do I help them have fun and how do I keep them retain this information?" I do the same thing when I am about to deliver for a client, whether it be training or play workshops

I think at some stage in life, the world that surrounds us decides that we're an adult now, and because of that our brain stops thinking of play as a learning function and see's it as an inconvenience OR something to pack away in the "childhood" part of your memory. This simply cannot be true, we should never ever pack that away. 

I have 15-20 years experience in everything I teach from a training POV and I've been a big kid since I turned into an adult. So I look to gamify, scenario and fill my sessions with play and fun whilst always hitting the key objectives.

There is just simply to much research and studies pointing to the fact that we learn through play and fun. So that's what we bring to the table. I'll quite often be sat writing up games for first aid or considering strategic communications games or reading research on how play can greatly help adults both from a day to day standpoint but also from a team and workplace level

Play is something we should NEVER grow out of, and I am here to prove that"
