Change Dies in the Silence Between Meetings

We get teams to say what they're really thinking instead of pretending everything's fine

Your team says yes in meetings but hides their uncertainty and confusion, which turns into resistance. We help NYC leaders get their teams actually aligned - not just pretending to be

How We Make the Real Conversations Happen

Two participants sharing stories via Lego constructions held above their heads, sharing their company values

Why People Finally Talk

People share concerns they've been hiding when they build first, then explain. The building removes the pressure of 'saying the right thing' - so when they do talk, they share what they're actually thinking.

The building is like a warm-up that bypasses their internal editor. By the time they explain their model, the real thoughts come out instead of the safe, sanitized version.

How Teams See the Whole Picture

Individual concerns become team insights when everyone builds together. Instead of five separate conversations in five different hallways, you get one honest conversation where everyone sees what's really happening.

100% of people share ideas that wouldn’t have come up in a normal meeting.

What Leaders Say

"While I love LEGOs, I was skeptical that it would bring more value beyond some fun brick building. It blew me away how effective it was at surfacing insights and pain points"

"It allowed us to go beyond the surface level"

"I saw people open up in a new way"

Before you can build real alignment, you need to understand what concerns are hiding beneath the surface

They commit to the tech stack consolidation plan. Then immediately start documenting "technical debt concerns" that justify keeping separate systems running indefinitely.

This isn't malicious. It's human.

It's like agreeing to clean out the garage together, then finding reasons why every forgotten box suddenly contains something "too important to throw away right now."

Most leaders assume they have alignment because no one spoke up. But silence isn't agreement—it's just safer than disagreement..

How to Avoid the $27.5 Million Failure.

Communication breakdowns cost US businesses $1.2 trillion annually, with 70% of transformations failing at an average cost of $27.5 million each. The question isn't whether you can afford to fix this—it's whether you can afford not to

Team Foundations

Strengthen Connections

Your quiet engineer wanted to open a food truck. Your competitive sales rep does pottery. Ready to meet your actual teammates?

Sure, your team shares the same Slack channels and recognizes each other's Zoom backgrounds. But what if they actually knew the humans behind those profile pictures?

Team Diagnostic & Repair

Get Unstuck, Move Forward

Your restructure timeline slipped again. Your AI adoption is stuck in "pilot phase." Your teams agree in meetings then build workarounds in private.

The gap between "yes, we're aligned" and actual execution is where transformations die. Our transition programs dig into what's really happening beneath the surface and create the shared understanding that turns plans into progress.

Interactive Speaking Engagements

“It's amazing and full on entertaining. I think everyone should try it once, you will love it.”

Bringing in Brandon to facilitate a Lego Serious Play Team Building session on our pre-return-to-work day was the best decision I could have made as a manager.  Our team had not been in a room together in two years and Brandon’s workshop allowed us to get to reconnect with each other in a much deeper way than we could have  accomplished by just talking for the whole day.  Each of us felt very seen by the process, as it helped us each express things about ourselves that have not been shared till now.  I can honestly say that the team feels closer than it had before and I can see some of the anxieties about returning to work dissipating.
