Team Foundations

Building Connections (Our most popular session)

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?

Building Connections changes that in 90 minutes. Using LEGO® Serious Play® methodology, we create a space where the real people finally show up to work. Your team builds models that tell their stories—nothing too personal, just the watercooler conversations that never actually happen.

Suddenly, that reserved developer isn't just "the quiet one"—they're someone with weekend adventures and childhood dreams. Trust deepens because connection is real, not forced.

"It allowed us to go beyond the surface level" and "I saw people open up in a new way" capture what happens when teams stop pretending they know each other and start actually connecting.

Your team leaves with inside jokes, unexpected discoveries, and the kind of authentic bonds that make every future interaction feel different. Plus, everyone keeps their LEGO® kit as proof that grown-ups can still surprise each other.

No LEGO® experience required—just curiosity about the people you work with every day.

 

How it Works:

We bring everything to your location, including specialized LEGO® Storybuilding kits for each participant (which they keep as mementos). Your expert facilitator guides the team through a series of thoughtfully designed builds, each revealing different aspects of who people are beyond their job titles.

Larger groups are divided into teams of 6-8 to ensure everyone has meaningful sharing time. Through metaphor and storytelling, participants discover unexpected connections and gain deeper appreciation for their colleagues' unique perspectives.

Available as out of the box, or customized to fit your needs!

Leaders using LEGO bricks to construct models that illustrate communication challenges and strategies for aligning vision across teams

Level Up Leadership

Only 32% of employees are engaged at work. Most trace disengagement back to one thing: their direct manager.

The statistics are brutal. Gallup's latest research shows the majority of employees feel disengaged at work. The primary culprit? Leadership that focuses on processes instead of people, authority instead of connection, and managing tasks instead of inspiring humans.

Level Up Leadership tackles this head-on. Using LEGO® Serious Play® methodology, emerging leaders build models that capture both exceptional leadership moments and leadership disasters they've experienced throughout their careers. They reflect on what actually creates engagement and what kills it—no corporate platitudes, just honest stories from the trenches.

Through guided storytelling and team reflection, leaders discover their authentic leadership strengths. They explore what their teams actually need to feel engaged, motivated, and heard. Together, they build leadership philosophies grounded in real human connection.

Leaders leave with practical tools for building trust, creating psychological safety, and engaging their teams.

Confidence Through Chaos

70% of organizational changes fail to meet their objectives. Most failures trace back to one thing: teams that never processed what was actually happening to them.

The reality is stark, but the solution isn't more change management frameworks. Teams already have the answers—they know what's working, what's breaking down, and what they need to succeed. The problem is they rarely get the space to share those insights, ask the hard questions, or process what the changes actually mean for their daily work.

Think about the shifts happening right now: remote and hybrid work models reshaping collaboration, AI adoption changing fundamental job functions, market pressures forcing rapid pivots. Change isn't a project with a start and end date—it's the constant backdrop of modern work.

Confidence Through Change creates space for teams to build out both their challenges and their solutions. Using LEGO® Serious Play® methodology, participants construct models that capture their real experiences with ongoing changes. They explore what's actually working, identify what's causing stress, and design their own path forward—not following someone else's change playbook, but developing strategies that fit their specific situation.

"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" - Participant

Teams leave with shared understanding of their current reality, practical strategies they've designed themselves, and renewed confidence in their collective ability to navigate whatever comes next.

The Pre-Mortem

Your team already knows what could go wrong. The problem is they're not sharing it.

Projects fail not because teams lack insight, but because the most valuable knowledge stays trapped in individual heads. Team members spot early warning signs, notice concerning patterns, and have gut feelings about potential problems—but sharing those concerns feels risky when everyone else seems optimistic about the plan.

The Pre-Mortem creates a safe space for teams to surface what they're really thinking. Using LEGO® Serious Play® methodology, teams build models of both spectacular success and spectacular failure for their upcoming project, product launch, or transformation. They explore all the ways things could go brilliantly right—and all the ways they could go disastrously wrong—without anyone being labeled negative or unsupportive.

This workshop has a ton of flexibility including risk landscape builds to map potential obstacles, shared vision of success builds to align on what victory actually looks like, and scenario planning exercises where teams play out different futures. Teams leave with comprehensive alignment on both their destination and the challenges that could derail their efforts—plus specific strategies to prevent problems before they become crises.

Teams leave with early warning systems in place, shared language for discussing risks without blame, and true alignment on both their goals and the path to get there. ty.

A large complex LEGO model representing what world class teamwork means to a group of workshop participants.  metaphors and stories are what give the model it's meaning and the team the buy in they need to succeed

World Class Teamwork

Every team talks about communication, collaboration, and trust. Few teams actually define what those words mean to them.

Ask any team what makes great teamwork, and you'll get the same buzzwords: communication, collaboration, trust, respect. But ask them to describe what world-class teamwork actually looks like in practice, and the answers get vague. That's the gap that kills team performance—not the lack of good intentions, but the lack of shared understanding about what excellence actually means.

World Class Teamwork gets teams to stop talking about teamwork and start building it. Using LEGO® Serious Play® methodology, teams construct models of world-class teamwork based on their real experiences. They dive into stories of the best team moments they've witnessed and the worst team failures they've endured. Through building and storytelling, they create a shared vision of what exceptional teamwork looks like for their specific group.

Teams explore what communication really means when it's working well, what collaboration feels like when everyone's firing on all cylinders, and what trust looks like in action rather than in theory. They also identify the barriers that typically get in the way—the patterns that derail even well-intentioned teams—and build strategies for recognizing and addressing those challenges before they become problems.

The process culminates in teams collaboratively building a united vision of their ideal team dynamic, complete with specific behaviors, agreements, and early warning systems. They leave not just inspired by what they've created together, but equipped with concrete ways to make that vision their reality.

Teams emerge proud of what they've built together and ready to take on challenges with stronger collaboration and mutual support. Most importantly, they have a shared language and clear vision for what world-class teamwork means to them—not from a textbook, but from their own experiences and aspirations..
