Leadership Expert Rachel Supalla Pre-Launches New Book, 'The Playful Leader’s Toolkit' with National Blitz Campaign

HELENA, MT, UNITED STATES, April 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new leadership book for childcare leaders and businesses in general, “The Playful Leader’s Toolkit: Creating a Legacy of Joy and Magic in Ruby Slippers,” by Rachel Supalla, begins an impressive pre-launch campaign in four cities this month.

“I speak a lot about playful leadership and how to use that to empower your teams so that you can scale them to the next level,” said Supalla, who owns 10 childcare centers in Montana and Utah and two summer camps.

About Playful Leadership
“Permission to play is the power to lead,” said Supalla, who speaks at national conferences about leadership and mentoring in companies of all sizes and industries.

“When we lead with pressure, we get compliance. But when we lead with play, we get connection,” she said. “Playful leadership is when you choose play over pressure. It goes back to what our brain craves, which is more play.”

When you play, cortisol is released, so you go from a survival state to an executive-thinking state.

“If you play more, it’s not childish. It’s the antidote and the tool. It brings you back to joy and builds resilience. That’s how teams can be more collaborative and thrive,” she said.
