Make Progress a Game

Keeping yourself and your team engaged?

Not as easy as it sounds.

You’ve probably tried it all.

Bigger incentives.

New systems.

More meetings.

Less meetings.

But if you’re still struggling to get real buy-in, you’re not alone.

That was the focus of my latest conversation with Caitlin Johnson, a pro at using gamification to drive business results.

Caitlin’s approach isn’t about handing out points or prizes.

It’s about making progress feel personal, visible, and winnable - so everyone wants to play.

She walked me through the four ways people play at work, and why most engagement plans flop if you treat everyone the same.

When you start building goals (and feedback) with those differences in mind, the results change fast.

We also got into what makes the first 90 days of any new initiative so critical, and why “mulligans” (yep, like golf) should be built into your systems.

If you’re ready to make progress more than just a buzzword, give this one a listen.
