The LSP Method Podcast

The LSP Method Podcast Episode 11 is out! In this episode I talk with Sarah Derriks - de Wit, a consultant and facilitator from the Netherlands.

We talk about LEGO Serious Play in Sarah's Agile and transformation work. Lots and lots of tips about LSP and sessions she's been in. Highlighting one of the superpowers of LSP - how it enables feedback in conversations and teams. And we talk about Sarah's book which has lots of practical activities for combining LSP and Agile.

One of the things I'm loving about the podcast is getting to meet and talk with people who trained in LSP in different ways. We all have this common foundation (the LSP method), but the different styles and way we all go about using the method is a pleasure to explore.

Thank you Sarah for a wonderful chat! Check out our conversation (with LSP builds of course!)

In Episode 10 I talk with the Erin Faehrmann, and we range across A LOT of topics. From Erin's wonderful approach to bringing play to work to taking your LEGO to job interviews, we talk sabbaticals and portfolio careers, different uses of LSP and the topic of fail-a-brations - where I even share a story about me peeing my pants as a youngster. That's right we go there!

It was such a good conversation. Erin has a very unique and well thought out way she brings Play into the workplace. Lots of great tips and mindset shifts that many of us could take onboard.

Thank you Erin for both your energy and passion for your work and the relaxed and chilled nature you bring to the conversation. It was such an easy chat, yet so much goodness weaved in there.

Alright this is a special episode of the LSP Method Podcast. In Episode 9 I talk with Alastair McGregor. He uses LEGO Serious Play in some fascinating ways.

He uses LSP with prisoners, police, first responders, conflict negotiation and with a whole host of other amazing people and places. Al dives into some powerful LSP experiences and the insights he's gained from them.

But the goodness doesn't end there, Al also dives into some pretty deep stuff in his own world through his LSP builds. Opening up and showing the true power of LSP as a communication too.

This is a really powerful episode you need to watch / listen to.

Thank you Al for your authenticity, vulnerability and your trust in me to guide a fun conversation.

Episode 8 of the LSP Method Podcast is out! In this episode I talk with the sparkling Jenny Martin. A facilitator from the UK who works across Agile, Product and People.

She uses LSP throughout her work. But as she says in the interview she doesn't lead with LSP, she weaves it into most of her sessions where it fits best.

We talk about some of Jenny's LSP experiences. The future of LSP - particularly the importance of these practices where we are being human. And we discuss diverse teams and how they make better decisions, amongst many other things (kindness, flourishing).

Overall it was a wonderful chat with a very switched on facilitator. Lots of insights and learnings to take away.

Check out the 50 minute conversation, including Jenny's three LSP builds.

Thank you Jenny for the energising conversation!

In Episode 7 I speak with the wonderful Julia Hancock. We start talking about what is at the base of LSP - a common communication language. Allowing each of us to peak into the others' mind. We also talk about the flexible nature of LSP and all the little places you can slide it into a program. And Julia talks about her work with LSP in education (and Shakespeare even gets a mention!).

In this episode I'm going solo! Sharing some brief thoughts on facilitation skills and LEGO Serious Play. I talk about that moment when someone shares their story and what I do to facilitate that. I reflect on how I'm using LSP in this interview podcast format. And lastly finish off this short episode talking very high level about "Do you need strong facilitation skills to do LSP?".

Today on the LSP Method Podcast I talk with Paul Kelly, a facilitator from the UK who uses LSP (amongst other tools). We talked about his entrepreneurial journey in starting his business. Looking back in embarrassment and how that shows you're learning. Neurodiversity and how it's not being talked enough about. And lastly we discuss the LSP sceptic.

Loved the chat with Paul. Check out the 45 minute conversation below, including his three LSP builds!

Today on the LSP Method Podcast I talk with Mauricio Gomez, an LSP Facilitator from Colombia. We talk about the idea of the "invisible facilitator" and where he learnt his craft. The emotional nature of what LSP can unlock. And Mauricio also shares his journey, what he's learnt and where he's going.

Loved the chat. I'm honestly learning so much from these wonderful facilitators all around the world.

For our first guest I caught up with Dr. William Ramey to talk all things LEGO Serious Play. We discuss the entrepreneurial journey, shared leadership, his LSP experiences and even his thoughts on structuring a session.

In this episode I dive into how you go about learning the LEGO Serious Play Method. From experiencing it, to reading books to the 5 main training organisations that run LSP Certification.
