Bringing a Sense of Joy to Professional Learning Through Lego Serious Play with Joel Birch

In #coachbetter episode, Kim chats with Joel Birch, Certified Facilitator and Pro Trainer of LEGO Serious Play.

Joel is such a pro at bringing fun, humor, creativity and play into his work. Just being in his orbit helps lighten the mood and start seeing creative possibilities you might not have noticed before. This episode is all about how to bring that kind of energy to your work - even if you're a type A "non-creative" like me!

In this episode, Joel and Kim are talking about

  • the power of play to develop relationships
  • how to structure the implementation of play (for type-A personalities)
  • the impact of bringing play into a work environment
  • the kind of environment needed to embrace play
  • how informal leaders can bring play to their work
  • what can go wrong when you experiment with play at work
