Many leaders struggle to connect with their teams and lead confidently in complex situations.

What if learning leadership could feel like a game?

In this inspiring episode of the Knack 4 Business podcast, we welcome Janet du Preez from Engagement Dynamics. Janet is the creator of the Leader Forge Game—a powerful game-based learning experience designed to build emotionally intelligent, confident leaders while solving real-world team challenges.

Through storytelling, collaboration, and reflection, leaders learn how to face complex “wicked problems,” communicate clearly, and lead with authenticity. Janet blends play and purpose to help people uncover their leadership identity—and use it to build stronger teams.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:

  • How the Leader Forge Game builds leadership skills using stories, teamwork, and guided reflection
  • The role of game-based learning in solving tough team problems
  • What “wicked problems” are, and why traditional training fails to solve them
  • Real-world examples of how leaders grew their confidence and trust through gameplay
  • How to use play and emotional intelligence to transform your team culture
  • Ways to bring these tools into your organization or business

Whether you're a team leader, solopreneur, or scaling founder, you’ll walk away with simple, actionable strategies to make your leadership stronger and more human.
