Daniëlle Zuiderwijk

The meeting discussed the use of Lego Serious Play in coaching, including best practices for one-on-one and group sessions. Speakers emphasized the importance of finding one's own style and combining LSP techniques with other coaching methods. Participants asked about time management, establishing trust, and the benefits of coaching qualifications. Lego Serious Play can be used in various coaching situations, including during workshops or personal conversations. Danielle shares a best practice of using Lego Serious Play in a one-on-one coaching session, where the client builds their current situation and desired future situation with Legos and uses NLP techniques to overcome obstacles. Danielle shares another best practice of using Lego Serious Play in a group personal development session, where participants build their current and desired situations with Legos and share emotional stories and insights. She emphasizes the importance of doing what feels comfortable and using skills building, and notes that LSP techniques can be combined with other coaching methods. Danielle discusses their role as a facilitator in an LSP workshop and how they keep an eye on people's emotions and dynamics in the team. Participants ask about the key differences between Lego Serious Play and coaching, and how to establish trust in both situations and about the benefits of going from verbal to kinesthetic language and whether Lego Serious Play can be used as an overlay for NLP sessions. Danielle explains that trust starts with the facilitator's demeanor and openness.
