I can’t say enough good things about Mark Collard and his company Playmeo. I have attended a training he facilitated, used his huge database of activities, and had a one on one consultation with him about programming. Hundreds of students, teachers, and people in my community have benefited from what I have learned from his programming. He embodies the spirit of community and always comes across as a genuine human being.

Playmeo is my go-to site for spicing up workshops, jazzing up culture, and elevating engagement! It’s packed with unique activities that make every session unforgettable. If you could only subscribe to three sites in your business, this should be one. Trust me, it’s pure magic and a priceless resource!

I cannot think of a larger positive or more transformative influence on my professional career than Mark and playmeo. Mark’s thought-provoking coaching and the incredible playmeo membership has helped me grow and develop as an educator/workshop facilitator and I would not be where I am today without them. The abundance of games has helped me connect thousands of students and adults over the years all over Australia and the world. The notions of the “Unofficial Start” and “Connection Before Content” are now embedded in every program, lesson, resource or meeting I design! Thank you for everything Mark and I would strongly recommend playmeo to anyone!

Playmeo is an amazing resource and gave us lots of ideas. We engaged Mark to run an online workshop for our Volunteer Centre network, we all really enjoyed the session and found Mark to be an excellent presenter, knowledgeable with a broad range of experience and experience which he brought to the fore in his excellent presentation. Would not hesitate to recommend Mark to others.
