Play drives connections.
I create space for exploring how play connects us to our stories, our identities, and each other.

My Play Methods
Improv Comedy
Improvisation can help you face your fears, express yourself, and unleash your creative genius all while learning new skills. It starts with listening and goes on forever through “Yes, And”.
Toys
Using toys to boost engagement with methods such as LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® can help you tell your stories, problem-solve, and who knows, maybe tap into happiness from your past.
Design Thinking
Design thinking workshops help you come up with ideas, focus and prioritize them. Yes, it helps for your life or business. Don’t worry, online or in-person, you’ll be using lots of sticky notes.
Mindfulness
Sometimes days are filled with obstacles that cloud your mind. We use mindfulness activities to find calm within chaos and clarity in confusion.
Arts & Crafts
Get your hands dirty with creativity! From clipping magazines for vision boards to gluing construction paper for digital prototypes. We got you covered.
Writing
Jumpstart imagination with playful prompts that spark characters, worlds, and wild ideas, just put pen to paper, no experience required.
About Googly Moogly
Googly Moogly is on a mission to bring more play into the world through laughter, creativity, and a dash of organized chaos. What started as improv for business has evolved into a full-spectrum approach to use play, toys, storytelling, and interactive design thinking workshops to unlock collaboration, boost morale, and spark real connection.
Founded by Frank McDade, a seasoned facilitator, performer, and lifelong toy nerd, Googly Moogly blends sensibility with creative spontaneity. Frank brings his background in sketch comedy, puppetry, and marketing leadership to create unforgettable experiences that feel more like recess than routine. Whether leading a Fortune 500 workshop or designing a Play-Doh empathy exercise for a group of friends, he makes space for people to show up as they are and leave better connected because of it.
At the heart of Googly Moogly is the belief that play isn’t just fun, it’s transformative.
Play touches and stimulates vitality, awakening the whole person – mind, body, intelligence and creativity.

Can Googly Moogly help me and my team?
Googly Moogly holds playful corporate training that helps teams build trust, communicate better, and that is way more fun.
Toys and play aren’t just icebreakers, they’re powerful tools for unlocking creativity, encouraging vulnerability, and helping people show up as their real selves.
When teams engage in playful corporate training, they communicate more clearly, collaborate more openly, and build the kind of trust that lasts beyond the workshop.
What does play actually look like as an adult?
It doesn’t always look like what you expect. It can be:
- building something without knowing where it’s going
- telling a story that doesn’t need to make sense yet
- laughing at something small and letting it linger
- picking something up and seeing what happens
It might look like a conversation that goes off-script.
Or a moment where you stop trying to get it right and just follow what feels interesting.
It’s less about games and more about permission.
Permission to explore without a plan.
To be a little weird. A little curious. A little open.
Play, as an adult, isn’t about going backwards. It’s about giving yourself access to something that was always there and letting it show up in a way that actually fits who you are now.
