    Hello Martin, thanks for posting that question, it is a very interesting topic.
    In my opinion from what I see and what I believe based on recommendation from books and facilitators training… the image you are showing at the meet up site does not infringes LEGO’s copyrights or trademarks… but lets see if the topic gets more responses and maybe…[Read more]

    Dear All,

    I’ll be running a workshop in Cape Town, South Africa at the beginning of May. This is a development cooperation mandate and they certainly don’t have any budget for LSP material for 20 participants,

    Onno – to send a personal message you first have to become a “friend” of that person. Go to the person’s profile and “Add friend”. Thereafter you can send “Private message” via this person’s profile page.

    Hello Dieter and Donna,
    I like the idea of the power point timer on the screen, however, I have been hesitant to adopt something like that in my workshops as I believe if the participant is looking at the time

    I have a question about your experience in flying with LEGO SERIOUS PLAY Identity & Landscape and Connections Kit. Together they measure as two boxes of 58x16x49cm, which means that there is altogether 91 liters of LEGO bricks weighing over 18 kg for the luggage.

    Does anybody have any experience to share in fitting them in one of the large…[Read more]

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to share with you this 4 min. video of a set of workshops I had few weeks ago.
    It was a great experience though a little heavy as we held 2 workshops a day with only a short lunch break.
    My client is a Private University and the participants were all administrative people working in it.
    I hope you enjoy, thanks for watching.

    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]

    Gabriel – thanks for your open description of your success and lessons learned. This is always the challenge for a facilitator – how to be well prepared, but still be ready to be flexible to changes during the session.

    Hi Gabriel,

    Thanks for posting your experiences. Everyone should read your story.

    I’m surprised that you recommend an hour skill-building. I’m sure I was told in training that it should be 2 hours!

    Handling the talkative ones is just part of the job of being a facilitator. Doing the skills building right won’t get your participants obeying…[Read more]
