I won’t bother to repeat what Sebastian has already said, but will be a bit more rhetorical. How did we learn that the shapes (that we call letters) “d” “o” “g” represent a four legged mammal with a tail that it wags when it’s happy and that those same shapes/letters in a different sequence represent the supreme element of our belief system? As…[Read more]

Hi Joy,

In answer to you questions “..how do you in corporate settings get adults who haven’t played with LEGO before or not in 30 years to figure out how to convey ideas into bricks?”;

I have been doing LEGO SP in corporate settings for several years now with thousands of participants.. staff level, middle managers, Board of Directors, M…[Read more]

I also use the Blue transparent DUPLO brick at the start of every session to explain the concept of metaphors. I always state “This brick represents my Mother in Law…. Why?” They then have a good time guessing size, transparency, wisdom, eight kids, calm, peacemaker, loves jewelry, etc. Its amusing and they get the point very quickly that youre…[Read more]

Hi All,
This is a subject that I take dearly to heart. Some of us in the LSP community were practising years before we finally got certified and I am sure that there will always be a percentage of professionals who discover the methodology and start using it successfully long before they decide to attend a formal training session.

I remember a…[Read more]

Scott – I havent asked the participants to do stop-motion videos, but I have done these myself using camera’s stop motion function. Gopro is the easiest option. See one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF6Nm5hixKY

I am also offering certified training courses, but admit that the word “certification” on this market is misleading. Criteria for certification is just survival for 2-4 days at the training. The reason I offer certificates is that many people coming from corporate setting suggest that they need this as the evidence of attendance.

There is no…[Read more]

Rick. What a sad loss and what a kind and thoughtful way of remembering Onno. He was such a lovely chap. Very engaged and active LSP practitioner. Thank you for sharing this.

Hi Marcos,
I always tell potential clients that team-building is an unavoidable by-product of the LSP process. Therefore it is better value and actually helps the process if the team can focus on a specific subject. The fact that they are German and Mexicans should only influence what language they use.

Activities you might want to consider…[Read more]

Hi Stephen,
As the LSP community is so vast now, I wouldn’t count out the possibility that studies might have been conducted in the area of eye-tracking during an LSP process, although I would think it is highly improbable.
Such research might influence how we present the methodology. Another aspect of participant behaviour that we “know”, while I…[Read more]

Thierry, thanks for sharing your experience. Very good story. It is very nice to know that not having been formally trained in LSP you managed to design and handle your workshop beautifully.

I added it on the community front blog page here so that it can be shared also via other channels:…[Read more]

Hi Denise, Sorry for putting a “Y” in your name. I actually checked that it was “I”, but my fingers seem to have had a mind of their own :-)

Marc, David Oliver’s LinkedIn profile is https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-oliver-bb4343/. But as you now have the link with Denise, I think you’re in capable hands.

Best regards,
Eli

Hi Marc,
May I recommend that you contact Denyse Meyerson. As far as I am aware, she is based in Sydney. She has been training and certifying other facilitators for nearly 10 years now. So, she would be able to train you or put you in contact with some of the facilitators she has trained in the past.
Also, David Oliver, who worked with Johan Roos…[Read more]

Hi Hans,
There’s not much point in repeating what I have already said in other posts. Certainly having 2 facilitators is better than one, and with 16 participants, you may end up working with 4 tables. With one client I had a project team of about the same number of people and we split them into two large tables of 8, until the end of the day,…[Read more]
