Team Development Coaching in Bristol, using Lego Serious Play
Build your answers with Lego and become a high-performing team.
How can Team Development help?
Let’s take a look at your current team and why perhaps it might be in need of some support and development.
Is your team new?
Is there a lack of trust?
Is there conflict between team members, creating a challenging working environment?
Are there multiple energies / personalities which are hard to bring together as a team?
If any of this sounds like your team then you’re in the right place!
As a Founder, CEO, department head or manager utilising Team Development workshop can be a game changer. Sometimes, in growing organisations, we are quick to throw in the towel when problems arise… instead, we can use those ‘problems’ as a gateway to high performance.
Team Development Workshops will bring a positive shift into your team resulting in better team morale, energised individuals and greater productivity, reducing toxic working environments and increasing success, for both your employees and your organisation.
What is Lego Serious Play?
LEGO SERIOUS PLAY is a facilitation methodology developed at The Lego Group. Its goal is improving creative thinking and communication. People build with Lego bricks 3-dimensional models of their ideas and tell stories about their models. Hence the name "serious play".
Who is your bad boss?
What is your dream position within your team?
What strengths do you bring to your team?
Have you ever tried to answer these questions out of LEGO? Lego Series Play allows you to find freedom with your answers and step outside and see things from an alternative viewpoint? Lego Series Play is one of the best tools to use to express how we wish to work individually, coming together as a team.
Leading innovators within their industries, such as Google and Nasa, use Lego Series Play, to get the best out of their teams, to enable growth, performance and creativity.

A full day of workshops, on-site in your offices, with a healthy mix of key areas for team development coaching. Running all day, with a break for lunch, these full-day workshops can be instrumental to the success and growth of your team!
Team Development Workshop Away Days
If you are really looking to bring your team together, to help both the individuals and the wider team evolve as one, then Away Days are a great way to create cohesion and receive some invaluable coaching. Away Days are usually hosted somewhere remote in the countryside for a day or more, for you and your team to switch off from work and instead switch on as a team.
The above workshops are all bespoke to your company's needs - with ‘pick ‘n’ mix’ menu options to choose from - to help develop your team. See below some of the key areas we can bring together for your team to grow and unite:
-

Weaknesses
You’re only as strong as your weakest link! Surfacing weaknesses within the team to help everyone come together to negate them.
Each of the above would be delivered in approx 90 minutes. All of them will bring awareness, understanding and trust.
Each Team Development Workshop is bespoke and tailor-made specifically to suit you and your business’s needs. Through a Discovery Call we will discuss the challenges and opportunities your team is facing, and then build the best workshop to suit.
“James helps people and groups to open up, and unearth views and ideas that may previously have been dormant.
James did an outstanding job of creating an environment in which everyone felt able to open up and share. James recommended using Lego Serious Play to achieve these goals and he nailed it.
There’s a leap of faith to be made, but if you do step out you’ll realise the unknown-unknowns that make all the difference to growing a brand, team and company.”
