Welcome to Work. Play. Grow.

Building Skills. Sparking Joy. Leading Change.

What if growing professionally didn’t have to feel like a grind? What if learning new skills came with a side of joy, community, and possibility?

Welcome to Work. Play. Grow.—the official blog of The Training Playground—where we believe professional development should be as dynamic, creative, and purpose-filled as the people we serve.

Why We're Here

We created this space for the doers, the dreamers, the entrepreneurs, the team leads, the interns, the re-starters, and the next-uppers—anyone on a mission to build confidence, sharpen skills, and lead with intention.

Whether you're navigating time management, exploring tech tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, leading your first team, or launching a new idea—this blog is your digital playground for practical growth.

What to Expect from Work. Play. Grow.

Every post is designed to do one (or more) of the following:

• Equip you with tools you can use right away

• Energize you with inspiration from our Collective and clients

• Empower you to lead and grow—on your terms

Topics will include:

• Quick wins and pro tips (you’ll want to screenshot these)

• Behind-the-scenes lessons from our trainings, workshops, and events

• Spotlights on TTP Collective members and changemakers

• Tools, templates, and tech tips that make work simpler

• Thoughtful takes on mental, physical, and social health, time management, and purpose-filled leadership

Community Spotlight: The TTP Collective

We’re especially excited to shine a light on our TTP Collective—a powerful network of professionals, creators, and entrepreneurs who are growing together and changing their communities.

In fact, our next post features Tamika Williams, Nurse Navigator and Founder of Kim Ball Cares, sharing how she’s preparing to launch the Inaugural Kim Ball Cares Health & Wellness Expo this fall! Stay tuned—this story will inspire you.
