Weinstein is the founder and Emperor of Playfair, Inc., an international consulting firm based in Berkeley, California whose philosophy is, “If you take yourself too seriously, there is an excellent chance you’ll wind up seriously ill!” Weinstein was elected to the Professional Speaker’s Hall of Fame by the National Speaker’s Association, and was honored by Successful Meetings Magazine as one of the 21 Top Speakers for the 21st Century.
Weinstein’s television special FUN WORKS!: The Power of Humor in the Workplace was broadcast nationally on PBS.
