Why I Love Using LEGO® Serious Play® in My Work
LEGO® Serious Play® is a fantastic tool that I weave into my training sessions because it sparks creativity, teamwork, and deep thinking. With LEGO® bricks, participants can bring their complex ideas and emotions to life in a fun, hands-on way. This method makes big, abstract concepts much easier to grasp and explore.
Using LEGO® in my sessions isn't just engaging—it's a way to unlock new, innovative thinking and problem-solving skills. By adding this playful yet powerful approach, I help clients discover their potential and find fresh, exciting ways to reach their goals.
