Dale Sidebottom is a play consultant, author and international keynote speaker, and the founder of The School of Play. He began his career as a PE and Health teacher in Australian schools, where he discovered that connection always comes before content, and that play is one of the most powerful tools for human wellbeing at any age. That insight became his life’s work. Dale has since helped more than 600 schools and organisations across 25+ countries embed wellbeing through play, written four books (including All Work No Play and Wolf Logic), delivered a talk at TEDx Docklands, and built a global community through his Energetic Radio and The Overly Excited podcasts. Whether on a conference main stage, in a school hall or with a leadership team, his mission is the same: to help people thrive through the power of play.
