Level Up! Reimagining Teams Through the Lens of a Video Game Addict
“Everything I know about life, I learned from playing video games.” Role-playing games can give managers the tools and insight required to help their teams succeed. Discover how to connect gaming archetypes to real workplace challenges to reveal the many paths that can be taken to achieve the same goal.

Michael Paszkiewicz is the Director of Administration at the Rita Rossi Colwell Center. Michael’s fondest childhood memories involve an epic trip across the country in a Volkswagen Camper Van and playing Pac-Man on the first Atari video game console ever released with his mom until their hands cramped. Today he tries to strike the balance between kicking his own kids outside to engage in physical activity and using video games to teach them spatial awareness, grit, and social connectivity.
