• Hi Sophie,

    Here are some of the songs I use:

    Pharrell Williams – Happy (always a great starter)
    Art of Noise – Dreaming in Color, Il Pleure
    Fourplay – Play and Pleasure, Bali Run
    Rhye – Open
    Vangelis – Chariots Of Fire
    Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk
    Moby – My Beautiful Blue Sky, Stream
    Macklemore – Downtown

    It always depends on the build exercise…[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,
    A couple of suggestions:
    1) Limit the number of bricks for the tower building. give them the bottom and the top and tell them to choose only ten more. This will focus the building and might help to focus the stories too.
    2) Give specific instructions (for example “tells us what you have built and what it says about you”) and stick to…[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,
    Rodrigo

  • 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,
    Rodrigo

  • Whats your favorite music/spotify playlist to play during the building process?

  • Hi there,
    when doing the skills building (the tower, de metaphor exercises with building instruction and exercise on story making) with a group bigger than 5 persons, I sometimes get stuck with timing. It demands time to let everyone share their stories and allow reflection time. Doing the 3 exercises (of which I think they are a must to get in…[Read more]

  • 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, i am very much interested in doing LSP facilitator program but having a confusion in how Indian organisations or Institutions accept LSP as an tool for improvement. can anyone brief me on that.

  • 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!
    I’m invited to the conference of Marketing and Education where I’ll have a breif session (45 minutes) of LSP for about 100 managers. The aim of presentation is to get them interested for sell them a session with LSP in their companies. Any ideas of the presentation are welcome. I’ll have 100 Windows Exploration bags with me.
    Thanks,
    Matevz

  • Lego has been around for many years, and I believed it holds a lot of trademarking and copyright ownership. Trademark so to speak includes the use of slogan, taglines, descriptions, special characters, designs and layout along with its brand name and logo. If in any case you copy one of each detailed trademarks, even the closes design or alike so…[Read more]

  • Hello Eli,

    Thank you for the timely and detailed answer.

    Alas, I am far far away and there are only 2 (including me) LSP facilitators here.

    Best,

    Ariel

  • 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 All,

    I have a session coming with 20 people where the customer insists working as one group.

    I was thinking on following the “pair programming” method from software engineering where two people program together, hence, building in duos. It could be individual building and then combining to a single model on which talking and story telling in…[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]
