LSP Core Process – Practice

You will need:

1. LEGO Serious Play bricks
2. Pen
3. Paper
4. A friend, family member or a colleague to practice with.

Before meeting with your friend, use your pen and paper to brainstorm about 3 challenges that you would like the other person to solve. E.g. one question about them now, another question about their past and the third question about their future.

When you meet your friend, first introduce them to LEGO Serious Play methodology, thereafter do a skills building session with them where they can practice building, metaphor creation and story telling.

Once the friend is comfortable then proceed through the LSP core process three times with each of your three question:

1. Challenge – first, ask the question.
2. Building – then the coachee will build. In the 2nd and 3rd round of building, add the tempo by giving the coachee a limited time (e.g. 3 minutes) to complete their building.
3. Sharing – once building is complete, the ask them to describe it, ask any clarifications.
4. Reflection –  finally, ask them to reflect about what they learned about themselves by building and telling their stories.

Finally, once you have asked your friend to respond to these 3 questions, please reflect upon your experience and send your feedback – how did it go? You may post your feedback just below in the comment field or send it as a summary via e-mail: marko@markorillo.com
