Meett Jill Vialet: Now if you don’t already know Jill… buckle up. Jill Vialet is an incredible social entrepreneur, author and public speaker. She is the co-founder of Oakland’s Museum of Children’s Art (www.mocha.org) and the founder of Playworks (www.playworks.org), a national nonprofit committed to bringing out the best in students by leveraging the power of play. In 2006, Jill was a Fellow at Stanford’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (better known as the dschool), and as a result co-founded Substantial (www.substantialclassrooms.org) to redesign the way that schools and districts recruit, train and support substitute teaching. She is the author of the middle grade novel, Recess Rules and the forthcoming nonfiction book Why Play Works: Big Changes Start Small Jill is a frequent public speaker, including several amazing Ted talks Jill is currently teaching a course on Design for Play at Stanford’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (better known as the d.school) and Social Entrepreneurship at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. Jill is also a Visiting Scholar at Haas where she is exploring the intersection of democracy, social entrepreneurship, business and play. What I love about Jill is that she has dedicated her career to one of the foundational elements to real success in life… the power of play. In a world where it is all too easy to fall prey to the seriousness of both our own life and the world around us, play is possibly the best antidote for so many of our problems. Stress, lack of creativity, energy levels, brain health, overall health and so much more is dramatically improved by incorporating play into our lives. Spending just a little bit of time in Jill’s presence and you will not only be energized by her amazing wisdom and spirit but you will be armed with the mindset and the tools to bring more joy into every area of your life.
