WANTED: Games for Developing Future-Ready Leaders
This session explores how game-based learning can be used to build one of the most critical and underdeveloped leadership skills in todayā€™s workplace: giving and receiving feedback. Led by Darwin Sy Antipolo, the session centers on a purpose-built board game designed to help leaders practice feedback conversations in a way that feels safe, structured, and constructive.
Participants will experience how serious play and experience design can turn an often uncomfortable skill into a shared learning moment. Rather than rehearsing scripts or absorbing frameworks, learners engage through gameplay that encourages perspective-taking, reflection, and dialogue. The session highlights how well-designed games can support future-ready leadership by making feedback a skill people practice together, not avoid.
Takeaway: Feedback gets better when people are given a safe way to practice it together.
