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!

Testimonials from Innovation Training Workshops

J. Chang Freelance Designer

I liked the flow of the presentation where Abound would explain a concept or two, then have something interactive after it to apply or understand the concept. This also helped to divide the speaking portions up so people wouldn't feel as restless. The facilitation was really great.
