Cornerstone Brick Designs

Last Saturday, Cornerstone Brick Designs invited 15 people into my home to participate in two free taster sessions of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY, an enhanced communication tool used in corporations and institutions to teach leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and strategizing using LEGO bricks.

To say the sessions were a success is an understatement. The purpose these sessions — the first I’d ever led solo — was to give me practice in the methodology, and help me troubleshoot my process for an official session I am leading later this month with a group of educators. There’s a lot I have to change and refine, but for the most part, the core is there, and it’s sound.

The build challenge for these sessions was to build an individual — and later, shared — model depicting the key elements of great community collaboration. I came up with this prompt in response to the recent fires and the upswell of people coming together to recover from this disaster.

Many thanks to all who participated and provided valuable feedback. I may do another set of taster sessions again sometime, so look out for an opportunity to participate.
