About Thomas

Play More, Play Better

My story started around 2003 at The Kaospilots - an alternative leadership and business school - where I discovered a deep passion for the forces that drive creativity, change, and transformation in teams and organizations.

For the next 15 years, I explored this from different angles. I worked at INDEX, a non-profit that promotes design and innovation to improve people's lives. I joined NORD, a multidisciplinary design practice focusing on architecture and urban development. At Hyper Island, I helped create transformative learning experiences at the intersection of leadership and technology. I co-founded a non-profit, Social Lab, focusing on social innovation and entrepreneurship. I also studied for a Master's in Cultural and Creative Leadership at Portsmouth University.

In 2008 I opened my own shop. Drawing from several areas and disciplines, dedicated to keeping it simple and always being 'work in progress,' I believe I have found a way (not the way). It works for me and allows me to serve leaders seeking to transform their organisations.

It starts with a need or desire to improve or fix something within the organisation. While working on this, I bring approaches and perspectives that rekindle the inherent creativity and the willingness to change and transform together.

I'm hard to box in, but so are the areas I work with. When my 5-year-old daughter asks what I do, I tell her I'm like a kindergarten teacher helping grown-ups play more and play better.

The process Thomas Reibke seeded within our organization has been instrumental in aligning our strategy and culture across the organization. It helped our teams and leaders turn new strategic priorities into daily actions and achieve the business results we need to stay competitive in a challenging and fast-paced market.
