Coaching with Hands-On Thinking using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®

If you can see the invisible, you can do the impossible.

As coaches, we all have clients that get stuck in their heads. They come to us with cluttered minds, and we help them separate out what isn't working or connect with what is. And sometimes we need a hand – which the philosopher Kant called the human's visible brain and the window to the mind.

Building upon Constructionism Learning Theory, Gestalt psychology, Systemic Constellations, and the power of metaphor, coaching with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) methods will support your clients to think and build their emerging thoughts with their hands enabling them to make tangible what was once invisible.

In this highly experiential session, attendees will:

• Explore the impacts of bringing more hands-on purposeful play into your group, team, and individual coaching engagements
• See a live demonstration of a 1:1 LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® - LIMINAL SPACES coaching session, then reflect on what you experienced with other thinkers
• IMPORTANT: Bring your own LEGO to have the opportunity to see (and feel!) how hands-on thinking with LSP can utilize our embodied cognition to deepen connections to our inner world and gain clarity with our outer world

* If you're bringing your own LEGO, great! Please ONLY grab two to three handfuls of LEGO of different varieties of sizes, shapes, and attributes. If you have a Mini-figure or two (LEGO people) and a baseplate (flat LEGO board 4x4 or bigger), bring those as well.
