This is an in-person event
Step into a world of fantasy to explore the way you lead as an HR Professional
This 90-minute teaser session gives you a taste of A Quest Within -a signature leadership role-playing game from the Leadership Treehouse. You’ll take on a unique character and navigate playful, imaginative scenarios designed to stretch your thinking and reveal how you show up as a leader.
Together we’ll explore how you:
• Respond to challenges and uncertainty
• Show up as a leader under pressure
• Inspire and influence others in unpredictable environments
This isn’t about dry leadership theory - it’s a creative, engaging experience that helps you spot your natural patterns, experiment with new approaches, and leave with insights you can take straight back into your leadership and HR journey.
No role-playing experience needed. Just curiosity, a sense of humour, and a willingness to try something different.

BloomHQ specialises in progressive, practical HR - helping small to mid-sized companies scale, restructure, and build people strategies that actually stick. Whether it’s guiding execs through a fantasy-styled leadership quest or helping HR teams survive the chaos of growth, Tamara’s work is about one thing: building leaders and cultures that can thrive in the real world, not just look good on paper.

Leadership Treehouse
With thanks to Tamara Buckland, Founder of Leadership Treehouse
We run immersive, game-based workshops for leadership teams, founders, and people leaders. In under a day, you’ll solve real challenges together, build trust, and walk away with skills you’ll actually use back at work. Designed for all kinds of leaders — different roles, personalities, and ways of thinking. There will also probably be dragons involved.
