Abstract	Organizational learning and transformation and attainment of organizational goals are not at odds. Those who value and consciously integrate whole-person and whole-body strategies in their formal and informal learning practices encourage people to bring their whole selves, including their emotional, physical, and spiritual life, to work. As organizations embrace and understand the value of whole-person engagement, they begin to make a mind-set shift from one of workplace, which emphasizes outcomes and routines, to one of playspace, which reclaims play as essential to organizational success. This shift in mind-set is tied to another key organizational benefit. Without the intrinsic motivation to do so, people do not expend discretionary effort, challenge cherished assumptions, innovate, or persevere through challenging obstacles, let alone take the initiative to respond creatively to unexpected and unplanned events or co-create novel solutions. In this article, the author points out that valuing and validating embodied learning in the workplace makes space for individual learning and transformation and can increase organizational capacity for innovation, learning, and change.
