Hi there ladies & gentlemans,

What for a great contribution on this topic!

I created a spotify playlist based on my own selection and some of the songs described here……. I dont know how to share it, feel free to follow me.

Have fun,

Rodrigo

Matevz, your welcome.

For other folks who might read this post the link is http://www.gargoylesoftware.com/lsp/facilitators and also contains a link to a PDF you can print to resort the Explorer kits.

I have found recently that folks who aren’t familiar with what a moose is nor LEGO have a time putting it together. You substitute to the Windows…[Read more]

Hi Sophie,
For the construction skill building I use “Trashin’ the Camp” by Phil Collins/’N Sync from the Tarzan soundtrack. It’s fun, energetic and short
For the individual metaphor build, I use Al Di Meola’s version of “Theme from the Mothership”. It’s reasonably fast-paced, while still remaining quite controlled and serene.
For a shortish…[Read more]

Hi Sofie,
I always ask the participants what them would like to hear.
At some point in time, them are the “owners” of the activity…. :)
Have fun,

Hi!
I would recommend to give as much as 2 minutes per participant during warm up.
In my perception, the power of the methodology arises on the exercices after the warm up, not during it…..
Have fun,

Hi Hugues,
I just found your note, im basically on the same subject.
What about some ideas i found netsurfing the web:
1) building a duck with 7 pieces
2) removing 3-4 pieces and explaining why it is still a duck
3) build a tower
4) build your ideal neighbor with the mini figure and 5 additional pieces
5) build the same day, 3 hours earlier
Have…[Read more]

5 minute intro.
A group of us did something similar. We followed a quick version of normal skill building:
Tower: Intro yourself and say one thing about your tower in 30 secs. Reflection is everybody in the room hold up towers and see how with identical instructions the outcomes are different.
Moose: Build Mike Bowler’s Moose. We have instructions…[Read more]

Hi Matevz,

Great opportunity you have!

If i were in your shoes, i would take the advantage of getting people to understand the power of a metaphor and the 3d perspective, all at once.

So, as an introduction exercises (similar as in a warm up), i would have them create a version of themselves with the mini-figure and a maximum of 5 additional…[Read more]

Hi Martin,
I have used LSP in counselling settingsfor a few years now with especially difficult participants (including post-trauma patients and a group of unemployed), and am familiar with the issue you present.
LSP is a great tool in this respect, rest assured.

The difficulty I see lies elsewhere, namely in hierarchy. Things will work out OK if…[Read more]

Hi Ariel,
Thanks for your question.
My first comment would be that you should not try to manage a group of 20 participants if you are just one facilitator – it doesn’t make sense. Try to find someone else, preferably LSP-qualified to support you.

With regard to managing the size of the group, I think what most of us do is to distribute…[Read more]

Hi Martin,
One question that can get this sort of discussion going is “what happened in the past”.
Perhaps introduce the discussion in a wider context with more people. If the problem doesn’t emerge during the wider discussion, you will at least have uncovered some interesting perspectives. You would then be able to drill down with those who are…[Read more]
