The Adaptive Identity Game: Purposeful Play in the Liberating Structures Community
Discover how mixing skills, traits, and metaphors creates inclusive conversations that build trust, inspired by the magic of Liberating Structures
Rethinking Professional Identity with Liberating Structures and the Adaptive Identity Game - Breaking out of rigid career boxes through a holistic, card-based approach designed by a Berlin-based Liberating Structures pioneer Sylvia Taylor - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sylviataylor/
[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/reimagine-work-now/the-adaptive-identity-game](Kickstarter Campaign - please head over and back this wonderful tool!)
In this very first English-language episode of Liberating Structures in Practice, Christian sits down with Sylvia Taylor, an organizational development and change management consultant based in Berlin.
Sylvia shares her journey of discovering Liberating Structures in Seattle and how it transformed her approach to agile consulting and facilitation. After moving to Germany, she missed the diverse community she had in the US, which led her to found the Berlin Liberating Structures Lab in 2016.
Christian and Sylvia discuss the power of in-person community building, overcoming "Zoom fatigue," and how Liberating Structures have organically spread to traditional German corporations like Deutsche Bahn and Dataport.
The second half of the episode is dedicated to Sylvia's newest creation: the Adaptive Identity Game. Born out of a desire to help agile professionals and tech workers navigating industry shifts and layoffs, this tabletop card game encourages "purposeful play". By combining cards from three categories—Skills and Strengths, Traits and Qualities, and Metaphors and Archetypes—players can remix their professional identities and discover holistic, creative ways to describe the value they bring beyond traditional job titles.
Sylvia also shares details about her newly launched Kickstarter campaign to fund the physical printing of the deck in Europe.
Upcoming Berlin Event: The Berlin Liberating Structures Lab meets on March 3rd at Deutsche Bahn, where attendees can playtest the deck.
The Adaptive Identity Game Kickstarter Campaign: To pledge for the physical deck or the digital PDF version.
