Core Competency: 0.5 Resource Development: 0.25
If you can see the invisible, you can do the impossible. 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 philosopher Immanuel Kant called the human’s outer brain.
See how hands-on thinking using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) is play with a purpose that deepens connections to our inner world and creates clarity with our outer world. You may even get a chance to play, build ARTifacts, and #UseYourHandsToChangeYourMind.
Expanding on constructionism learning theory, the magic of metaphor, and our meaning-making minds, coaching with LSP engages our embodied cognition and the untapped wisdom in our hands. It enables us to build our emerging thoughts and make tangible what was once invisible. When we can hold our desires in our hands, we can see and feel how to attain them. When we can physically grasp our challenges, we can figure out how to break them apart and build them back more resourcefully.
Learning Objectives:
See how utilizing LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methods in your individual, group, or team coaching engagements can accelerate trust and/or elicit generative conversations.
Gain a greater understanding of how coaching that engages the hand-mind-connection’s embodied cognition can evoke a deeper understanding of our thoughts and feelings.
Watch attendees build ARTifacts that unearth stories of resourcefulness or narratives that can be physically reframed, leading to tangible takeaways that are anchored in objects.
