Leo is excellent at his craft! He was so clear and concise, and made the entire time fly by with the fun and introspective work. We all wished that we could’ve had more time to explore and create.
LEGO SERIOUS PLAY helped me explore some thoughts and feelings about myself in ways I'd never had before.
I loved the way LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® encouraged me to just get to work instead of overthinking each answer. Being able to discover the answer through doing, instead of thinking, was so inspiring. What a fantastic way to get beyond a creative block!
