you’ve done great with this person. Please let us know how it works out. As the other colleagues said, they are more prepared than we are. And I think that it really helps us, as facilitators, to understand better the power of metaphore and story-telling……………… maybe, because I myself am so bad at building, that I always trust the other…[Read more]

hello Elaina:
I have facilitated LSP workshops for over 6000 people since 2000, including large groups of top leadership and pharma companies. “Think With Your Hands” — http://www.thinkwithyourhands.com?lbd — is my typical 3-hour workshop in a setting like you describe. I am based in Nashville, and about the same flight distance as Gabriel.

Please…[Read more]

Hello Elaina,

I work out of Montreal (Quebec, Canada), less than 1:30 flight away from Pennsylvania. I am a certified LSP facilitator and would be most happy to help you. I’ve designed a few leadership LSP workshops, mostly for teams of executives.

If you’d like, we can chat via skype to discuss your requirements and see if there is anyway I can…[Read more]

Dear Patricia, Tamara and Bruce,
You are amazing! I don’t know you, but i love you.

Thank you very much for your insights and advices.
This morning, I had the chance to connect with the participant, and had a short talk about handling of LEGO bricks, as well as storytelling/metaphor. He is very cooperative, and very curious how things will…[Read more]

Safak,

I had this happen once. The person had a basic, unmoveable, prosthetic hand, which I only realised after I had distributed the fiddle packs. I asked him if he wanted help, with me guiding him, or something. He said no, he’d manage on his own with one working hand, and the prosthetic to hold things in place.

So, my suggestion is this: ask…[Read more]

A great challenge Safak! I find myself thinking of ways to use the handicap as an opportunity to be creative with the builds and build empathy with other participants. For example, how about a round where everyone has to build their model with only one hand?
We also did a great pair activity at the North American LSP facilitator’s meeting last…[Read more]

hi Safak, nice challenge ahead. It never happened to me, but I guess you have to stress metaphore and story-telling, as the complementary skills to building. It should go ok, I think.

Hi Joe,

I’ve heard from a couple of interested folks, but no one local…

Thanks for following up!

Hi Julie
How did you make out?
Joe

Thanks, Joe! I work for a non-profit, so I’m hoping to avoid travel expenses if at all possible. I’ll keep you posted!

Julie

Hi Julie
I would happy to help you in the event that you do not get a reply from a local LSP facilitator.
I am in Virginia and can travel as needed.
I will be surprised though if you don’t get some local help.

In case you don’t my contact information is:
joe.snyder@trainit.net

Best,
joe

Ft Lauderdale, FL. Not a bad place to visit in the winter… :-)

Where are you located?
There are many LSP facilitators on the forum that would be happy to help.

Being a newbee myself, I think this is a fantastic idea.

Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say, and I do love to upgrade systems. Count me in.

Great to see you took the plunge Rob! Count me in. I’ll send you my details.
