What Building My First LEGO Set Taught Me About Learning and Work
I didn’t expect building my first LEGO set to turn into a lesson about learning — but it did.
In this episode, I reflect on how the LEGO building experience mirrors what adults experience in workplace learning and professional development. From following step-by-step instructions to navigating moments of uncertainty, LEGO became a surprisingly accurate metaphor for instructional design, collaboration, and trusting the process.
This episode explores:
Why slowing down matters in learning
How adults learn when the full picture isn’t clear
The role of patience, experimentation, and reflection
What LEGO can teach us about workplace training and growth
A thoughtful, practical reflection for anyone involved in learning, leadership, or personal development.
