A seasoned games professional with over 15 years of experience at top-grossing studios, including Rovio, Voodoo, and PlayStation, Sophie Vo knows the drill and how to drive success. But she also learned first-hand that companies can only go from good to great when they have exceptional and empathetic people at the helm. That’s why she founded Rise and Play, a company helping studio leadership up their game. Offering services from high-performance team and 1-1 coaching to streamlined hiring, training, and onboarding processes, Rise and Play equips games professionals with the resources and network they need to level up and create lasting change within their company. Sophie joins our hosts Peggy Anne Salz and Brian Baglow this week to discuss common leadership challenges, why she “sees suffering in most leaders,” and lift the lid on the 3 questions you can ask yourself to elevate your emotional management skills.
