Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–October 18, 2025)–Dr. Heather Walter, productivity strategist, leadership coach, and creator of the Play Action Pass Model, joined The Michael Peres Podcast to examine why many corporate and educational training programs fail to produce lasting change and how to align process, purpose, and people. The episode reviewed the scale of training spend versus outcomes, the importance of context and self-awareness in leadership, and methods that move teams from resistance to engagement through individualized, data-informed implementation.
Walter outlined the Play Action Pass Model—building awareness, ownership, and tailored execution—and discussed practical ways to convert frontline feedback into actionable plans. She also addressed middle-management burnout, why “quick-fix” workshops underdeliver, and how change strategies designed around human behavior sustain productivity over time.
Dr. Heather Walter is a productivity strategist and organizational change coach with a background as a professor of special education. She developed the Play Action Pass methodology to help mid-to-large organizations design people-centered, data-informed change that leaders and teams can apply in daily work.
