Join this hands-on learning experience with Andrea Fruhling and discover the power of metaphors in career conversations through LEGO® Serious Play®.
This interactive session offers an innovative approach to career conversations, using LEGO to build tactile metaphors and deepen awareness at all stages of the career development process. Whether you’re working 1-1 with clients, facilitating group sessions, or wanting to support teams in your organization, you’ll leave with easy-to-implement strategies that can be adapted to suit a range of career development processes. Learn to work with LEGO Serious Play methodologies to help clients think about who they are in a new, easy-to-talk-about way, develop a plan of action and put insights into action in meaningful ways. Whether you’re working with adults in retirement, youth making career decisions, or anyone in between, this workshop will give you tangible strategies to boost engagement, improve communication, and incorporate meaningful play into the work you’re already doing, regardless of the ages and stages of the people you support.
With hands-on learning with LEGO from beginning to end, we’ll explore how actively engaged processes and experiential learning can help cultivate one’s sense of hope, unlock new perspectives and strengthen the work you do.
All LEGO materials will be provided during this session; however, recognizing that LEGO can be an expensive resource, Andrea will also discuss variations on the presented processes and share strategies to implement what is learned for participants who may not have access to LEGO or are working virtually.
