Are you ready to unlock your leadership potential through hands-on discovery and creative thinking? This innovative 3-hour workshop uses the proven LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology to help leaders at all levels gain deeper insights into their leadership style, strengths, and growth opportunities.

Through guided building exercises and structured reflection, participants will construct their understanding of effective leadership while literally building their vision for leadership excellence. This highly interactive approach moves beyond traditional training methods, enabling leaders to think with their hands and articulate complex leadership concepts in new and meaningful ways.

What Makes This Program Unique:

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology engages 100% of participants 100% of the time, ensuring everyone contributes to the learning experience. By building with LEGO® bricks, participants access creative thinking processes that traditional discussion-based training often cannot reach, leading to breakthrough insights and authentic self-discovery.

Successful participants will:

  • Construct Their Leadership Identity - Build and explore their current leadership strengths through hands-on exercises that reveal core leadership values and approaches

  • Design Leadership Excellence - Create three-dimensional models representing the elements of effective leadership and identify the key characteristics that distinguish outstanding leaders

  • Build a Bridge to Growth - Construct their aspirational leadership vision and develop concrete action steps to bridge the gap between current state and future potential

Benefits of Attending:

Leave this session with a clear understanding of your leadership strengths, a concrete vision for your leadership growth, and a practical action plan you can implement immediately. The hands-on nature of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method ensures that insights gained are memorable, meaningful, and actionable. You'll also develop new techniques for creative problem-solving and communication that you can apply in your leadership role.

Who Should Attend:

Current leaders, supervisors, managers, and high-potential employees preparing for leadership roles. No prior experience building with LEGO® bricks is required - just come ready to think, build, and grow as a leader.
