Gabriel Couture

Hello everyone!

Was done with the demo before I got back to the thread, but I appreciate the feedback Massimo, Gabriel, and Hector! I’d like to share what happened:

1) As mentioned, I ended up exercise no. 3. fortunately, they got the hang of building and getting into the flow fairly quickly, even for those who were intimidated with the bricks…[Read more]

Dear Jeff,

I also agree with Massimo and Gabriel that your design sounds to ambitious for two hours. My comment might arrive too late as I undertand your workshop is sometime today. However, in my experience when you budget the time you need to keep in mind that the sharing usually takes anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes per participant. If you have…[Read more]

Hello Jeff,

I support 100% Massimo’s suggestions as in my last workshop I made the mistake of underestimating the time it takes for just the skills building. Remember that the time you allocate is a factor of the # of exercises, the time you give them to build, the time you give them to share, the time for reflection, and of course the # of…[Read more]

mmmmmm … thinking …. the Duck exercise is adding time but little meaning. The duck in itself is a stand-alone demo and does not mix well with others … I would remove #2, then move #3 to #2, and then add new #3, to build their own personal “superpower”.
That way they are still doing skill building but they are also sharing their own personal…[Read more]

This post isn’t new anymore, but I’d been experiencing the exact same problem a while ago. Without a perfect solution at hand, I thought I take the helm and offer my LSP sets for rent when I don’t need them. I will make sure they are clean and complete and I ship them within Germany (or pick-up in Berlin). What do you guys think about this ide…[Read more]

Hi Jesus, thanks for the details!
Do you mind telling us how long did the session last?
Thanks again,
Camila

Hi Jesus,

muchísimas gracias. I’ll send you an email.

Hi Gabriel.

I’m a Life coach and I had many sessions using Lego tools and it was very useful and very concrete.

1. Explain them how it works.
2. Skills building a)tower b)explain this. 2 min each
3. Personal identity. Real time, brutal honest and focused on the impact the problem is influencing to him/her. Place the model on the left side of the…[Read more]

Thanks all, for sharing you’re experiences, a must read for all facilitators – imho.

Hi Marcos?
Where’s the video? Is it somewhereelse on the page?

Thanks

I think that skills building is an absolute must but from what I have learned, the time allocated for it depends highly on the number of participants and the type of participants, as well as, as Marko stated, the session design. I also think that as I build experience, I will become better at time management.

Marko I like your suggestion about…[Read more]

Hi Marko,
To be honest, I never do the full two hours, but to give you an idea about how the time can be allocated.

Construction:
Instructions 1 minute + building 3 minutes + debrief 2 minutes + deconstructing models 1 minute = 8 minutes

Metaphor:
Instructions 2 minutes, building 10 minutes, explaining 10 minutes, debrief 2 minutes +…[Read more]

Hi everyone,
Thanks you so much for your valuable input!
I’ve facilitated my first 1-day LSP workshop yesterday for the commercial team of an Embassy in Brussels. The goal was to streghten the team, help ‘m to deal with changes and ‘rejuvenate’. I took almost 90′ for intro & skills building, used the Team Life scenario as a base and ended with a…[Read more]
