Xapa World
Where real work comes to life.
Xapa World uses story to make leadership, communication, and behavior visible. People recognize themselves, their managers, and their teams.
Then they practice what to do differently.
What Xapa World Is
Not entertainment. Enablement.
Stories mirror everyday work moments so people do not just learn concepts. They practice skills that matter at work.
This is where emotional intelligence becomes a business capability.
How Story Quests Work
What People Learn
Xapa World helps people strengthen how they speak, listen, and respond under pressure.
They learn how to listen with intention, how to express themselves clearly, and how their style affects others.
People begin to recognize patterns in their teams and leaders.
Awareness becomes skill through practice.
Why Story Works
People rarely change because they are told to change.
They change when they see themselves clearly.
Characters make hard topics easier to face.
Story lowers defenses and invites reflection.
People laugh, recognize, and adjust.
Meet the Crew
The JoyWorx characters represent real personalities found in every workplace.
Each one reflects common habits, strengths, and blind spots.
People connect quickly because the characters feel familiar.
Recognition leads to insight.
Insight leads to change.
Odin Grinn
CEO of Joyworx
Overconfident, loud, narcissistic, and stuck in the “my-way-or-the-highway” mindset. Odin believes leadership is about control, not connection.
Pricklee Von Shush
Head of HR & Accounting (self-appointed)
A master of judgment and subterfuge, Pricklee uses bureaucracy as a shield and policy as a means of power. She knows everyone’s business—and comments on it too. She’s also a driver and knows how to get stuff done.
Polly Spark
Marketing Director & Poster Child for Toxic Positivity
Always sunny, even if the house is on fire. Polly means well, but avoids discomfort at all costs, making honest feedback a no-go and pushing the foil on toxic positivity.
Lennox Lumens
Engineer & Walking TED Talk
Competent and confident, but lacking in emotional intelligence (EQ). Lennox can code anything, but struggles with empathy, listening, and practical leadership in real-world situations.
Gilbert Glum
Top Salesperson & Full-Time Pessimist
Cynical, sarcastic, and somehow always closing deals. Gilbert expects the worst—and often finds it. Growth? Not if he can help it.
Ghostina Drift
Perpetual Temp
Master of avoidance. Ghostina disappears at the first sign of conflict, accountability, or extra work. Charming one minute, vanished the next.
Debra Doormat
Operations Lead & Fixer of Everything (Except Herself)
Reliable, perfectionistic, and overextended. Debra always says yes—even when she shouldn’t—and quietly burns out while making it all work.
Quip Quippington III
Creative Director & Bloviator-in-Chief
Old-school and out of touch, Quip speaks in metaphors, references 1980s ad campaigns, and often derails meetings with "big ideas" that fall short of the mark.
Xappy
Your Playful Guide to Growth
Young Xappy is curious, excited, and open to learning. Older Xappy has seen some things and brings wisdom (and occasional sass). Together, they help you reflect, laugh, and lead—without judgment.

Doctor Neha
CEO of Joyworx
Overconfident, loud, narcissistic, and stuck in the “my-way-or-the-highway” mindset. Odin believes leadership is about control, not connection. Meet Xapa Xpert, Dr. Neha Sangwan
The Ugh
CEO of Joyworx
Overconfident, loud, narcissistic, and stuck in the “my-way-or-the-highway” mindset. Odin believes leadership is about control, not connection.
Odin Grinn

Why Story Works
Because learning lands when it feels real.
Not every Quest is character-based. Some are challenge-driven, others skill-focused. But when the cast shows up, they deliver lessons you’ll remember long after the laughter fades.
