Hey Erwin, Massimo,

Would like to exchange thoughts on this matter. Some questions we should answer:

What do we want to achieve with this Meetup?
Who will put in the effort of organizing the meetup site?
Who will facilitate the meetups?
Where shall we host the meetups?
What shall we put in as topics?

Some of the later questions strongly…[Read more]

I’m interested … greetings from Limburg!

Hi Marko,

There is something called a “balikbayan box”, usually used by Filipino expats/immigrants when they want to bring a lot of personal belongings back to Manila. You can use the largest one which is about 60cm x 45cm x 60cm and either have it shipped in advance or just check it in with your luggage. You can fit several kits in there.

Hope…[Read more]

Hi Martin,
I certainly like the idea and I’d love to work this idea out, together with some other facilitators here. Let’s see if there’s anybody else who wants to get this thing going. And if not, we can organise something together.

Cheers,
Erwin

Sean – thanks for the ideas! Would be great to see a photo of your approach indeed – perhaps it might be an interesting front page post of the community to also provide some useful ideas for the others?

Hi Marko

I took a kit to Holland, I bagged up the bits in zip lock bags of various sizes and stuffed the whole lot into a checked in bag.

The absence of a hard box made the packing really easy.

If you pour the big sets of bricks out onto flip chart paper in the workshop, it makes sliding the bits back into bags easy.

Incidentally, I bought…[Read more]

Hi Martin,

Sean from the London group here. Bjorn trained with me in London – he said he might be interested, so perhaps contact him? https://nl.linkedin.com/in/bjornbierhaalder

If you want to share ideas for meetups that would be great!

Good luck getting a group going – I’d suggest you just set up a MeetUp group and people will come… you…[Read more]

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]
