Organizations invest heavily in improving workplace performance
WE HELP ORGANIZATIONS STRENGTHEN THE HUMAN FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE FOCUS, LEADERSHIP, COMMUNICATION, CULTURE, AND SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE.
FOUNDED AND LED BY PH.D.-LEVEL REGISTERED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS
Through our psychologist-developed and led workshops, we use the Interplay Framework™ to help organizations better understand the factors shaping workplace performance. Each workshop then explores topic-specific psychological insights and practical strategies participants can apply immediately.
Drawing on over 30 years of combined clinical experience working with high-performing individuals, we translate evidence-based psychological science into practical strategies that improve focus, leadership, workplace culture, communication, and sustainable performance.
Beneath every visible outcome are factors that often go unnoticed. Through workshops on topics such as burnout, procrastination, and distraction, menopause, psychological safety, and workplace stress, we help organizations better understand and address the factors shaping workplace performance.

We kept hearing the same thing.
Every day in our clinical practices, we hear intelligent, capable, high-achieving people say:
"I wish I had learned this years ago."
"I assumed I just needed to work harder."
"Finally, I have a language for what I was experiencing."
We found ourselves wondering why these conversations are limited to therapy settings. Whether the conversation was about managing stress, preventing burnout, communicating effectively, navigating difficult situations, or understanding the habits and patterns affecting performance, many of the skills that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives are learned far later than they need to be - if they’re learned at all.
That’s why we created Interplay Advisory.
To make those conversations practical and consistent across workplace topics, we developed the Interplay Framework™—a simple way to understand the relationship between capability, capacity, load, and workplace performance.
We bring established psychological science beyond the therapy room and into workplaces, helping organizations better understand the psychological and often invisible factors that shape performance and providing people with practical skills they can use immediately.
The Interplay Advisory Signature Workshop Series
VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON WORKPLACE PERFORMANCE WORKSHOPS BASED IN TORONTO AND SERVING ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS CANADA AND WORLDWIDE
Built around the Interplay Framework™, developed by our founders, and grounded in established psychological science, our workshops are developed and led by Ph.D.-level registered Clinical Psychologists and help organizations better understand the often invisible factors shaping workplace performance. Our workshops help organizations better understand the connection between visible workplace outcomes and the often invisible factors that shape them, translating established psychological science into practical strategies that strengthen performance, leadership, communication, and workplace culture.
Learn about the psychological factors that contribute to procrastination, distraction, and inconsistent follow-through, and develop research-based strategies that support stronger performance, greater accountability, and a workplace culture that promotes focus and effective execution.
Managing Procrastination and Distraction at Work
Explore how menopause can affect workplace performance, leadership, and retention, and learn practical, evidence-informed strategies that help organizations better recognize the invisible load many employees carry while fostering a psychologically safe and supportive workplace culture.
Menopause at Work: Performance, Leadership, and the Invisible Load
Explore the often invisible factors that contribute to workplace stress and burnout, and learn practical, science-backed strategies that support sustainable performance, employee well-being, and healthier workplace cultures.
Stress and Burnout Prevention at Work
Self-doubt often remains invisible to others while quietly affecting performance, leadership, visibility, and career growth. This workshop helps participants understand the psychology of imposter syndrome and develop practical strategies for responding with greater confidence and effectiveness.
Imposter Syndrome at Work
Sleep is one of the most important and often overlooked factors shaping performance. This workshop explores the science of sleep and offers practical, evidence-based strategies to improve sleep habits, reduce sleep-related anxiety, and enhance effectiveness at work.

"As a Director of Legal, I attended this talk in my personal capacity and found it genuinely impactful. It gave me a fresh perspective on how I approach the demands of work and helped me feel more in control, less overwhelmed, and better equipped to manage competing priorities. I left with practical tools that have already started to make a difference in how I work and how I feel."

"Workplace burnout is very real for me, for my colleagues, and for so many of the working parents around me. Interplay’s Living Room Talk named that honestly and gave us space to talk about it without judgment. I left with a clear reminder that we have to do better for ourselves if we want to do better for the people who rely on us, whether that is our children, extended family, colleague and friends. I’m grateful Tali and Marcie are creating room for these conversations!"

"I love the framework this team has developed. Their approach is evidence-based, highly relatable, and, most importantly, practical. They translate psychological concepts into tangible tools and skills that people can immediately apply in their day-to-day work and lives. I particularly appreciate how adaptable their workshops are, with content thoughtfully customized to the needs of each organization. Their framework has already influenced how I conceptualize my own capacity and workload, as well as strategies I incorporate into my clinical work with patients. I would highly recommend this team to any organization looking to support employee well-being, performance, and personal growth."
