Have you heard about LEGO Serious Play?  I though it sounded intriguing so I booked onto a course hosted by Terry McStea and @Polly Westergaard at Design Network North facilitated by Antony Eddison PFHEA FRSA It was amazing to see the power of play. LEGO was used to facilitate thinking, communicate feelings and break down barriers to achieve goals. We began by building LEGO ducks.

Although we all had to use 7 bricks and listen carefully to the instructions, it was interesting how people interpreted what they'd heard with many different duck designs made. The next  step of the  4 stage process was to tapped into our ‘inner superpower’ and built something which represented it... I created my ‘Intuition Goggles’ - these help me to clearly see other people’s hidden superpowers and unlock their potential to empower them to turn ideas into reality!

It was fascinating to see the variety of objects built. I was on a table with five amazing individuals, we each told our story about what we'd built, then helped each other to explore the meaning behind it. I won't give away what happened next, but by the end every one of us had discovered more about ourselves and how to break down the barriers stopping us from achieving our goals. We all left feeling inspired and ready to take action.
