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.

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.
