LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) first started back in 1996 and grew in popularity. In 2010 Lego® released an open source document showing how anyone could host a LSP session. We'll be using this Open source document to look at how LSP can be use in Training, Facilitation and Coaching.

In this introduction course we look at:

• The process

• Which bricks to use

• What we should be asking of our participants

• What we should be asking of ourselves as facilitators

• Exploring 4 different Skills Building activities
