#Practice Based Learning

Trainee in SERIOUSWORK LEGO Serious Play Facilitator Training using LEGO Bricks

This is the gold standard of LEGO® Serious Play® facilitation training and teaches so much more than just working with bricks. It gives you additional facilitation skills, real practice and the confidence to work at a whole new level, including senior teams on strategic assignments.

LEGO® Serious Play® is a 20 year old method, and for most of that period classes have been taught by a ‘master’ who facilitates larger groups for up to a week. SeriousGlobal is like the Tesla of the LEGO® Serious Play® world. We didn’t invent the car, but we have electrified the way people learn and evolved the traditional way the method is taught.

The fundamental difference is that our training is powered by learners facilitating. You can only learn so much by watching a seasoned master trainer facilitate. You learn to facilitate by facilitating.

This training is interactive, practice-based learning in a collaborative environment, teaching you to facilitate individual and shared models. With real-time feedback from your trainer, the format ensures that you gain a deep, practical understanding of LEGO® Serious Play® and leave with the confidence and skills to immediately run effective workshops.

What sets this training apart

LEGO® Serious Play® Training Features

Practice-Based Learning

Practice Based Learning

You’ll get hands-on, practice-based learning, ensuring you gain real world experience in facilitating LEGO® Serious Play® workshops. With small class sizes (maximum of 8 participants), we ensure personalised attention and active participation. But above all you will learn to facilitate by being the facilitator!

 

Live Practice Workshop

Live Practice Workshop

The highlight moment of practice-based learning is on the afternoon of day 2, you’ll run your first 2 hour workshop. You’ll take a group of people you have not met through a ‘Introduction to LEGO® Serious Play®’ This will give you a terrific confidence boost, and you’ll leave your class having already run your first workshop. Boom!

Comprehensive Training Materials

Comprehensive Training Materials

You will receive extensive resources, including a paper copy of “Mastering the LEGO® Serious Play® Method,” and digital copies of our other three books, “How to Facilitate the LEGO® Serious Play®  Method Online”​, and “Building Better Learning”. You’ll also get Window Exploration kit of LEGO® bricks and our course handout.

Plus a Key Module on Planning & Prep

Planning Skills to Use in Non-LEGO® Serious Play® Meetings

We consider one of the highlights of this class is when you plan your first workshop and we use this module to teach you a set of planning skills that you can apply after class to any kind of meeting or workshop – including those that won’t benefit or should not use LEGO® Serious Play®. Many graduates have a real lightbulb moment in this training highlight.

Case Studies Included

See how it works in real life

This class includes case studies of how we have facilitated LEGO® Serious Play® with our clients. We’ll show you how we contracted and then planned them, what happened on the day and what the outputs and outcomes were. These case studies always create many questions about the practical aspects of designing, running and following up from professionally facilitated workshops.

So Many Upgrades and Hacks

LEGO® Serious Play® 3.0

There is not a single part of the original method we have not upgraded. We’ll teach you new and more effective ways to facilitate the LEGO® Serious Play® Skills Build. Our Shared model process is so much better than the original process. Our approach to effectively selling LEGO® Serious Play® (now how you might think). All this from the only trainers who have written 4 books about the method.

What people say about this training?

IRELAND

Myself and other colleagues from the LEGO Foundation attended SERIOUSWORK’S LEGO® Serious Play® Facilitator training. I can’t recommend the training enough – it was hands-on, engaging and highly enjoyable. Crucially, the training encouraged us to hone our LSP facilitation skills. Highly recommend.

A couple of weeks ago, Sean skilfully took us – a team of 8 experienced, seen-it-all facilitators – through Build Levels 1 & 2 LEGO® Serious Play® Foundation Training. I cannot think of a better role model as a facilitator, and the tool is simply awesome:). You won’t find a better trainer.
