From working on corporate projects to leading volunteer management and senior roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her passion revolves around helping people and organisations have better, more meaningful conversations that lead to real impact. Katherine\u2019s certification in LEGO Serious Play perfectly complements her wider work. She\u2019s also an Action Learning Set lead, mentor, and certified coach. All these roles focus on supporting those working in the social good space to achieve their best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wait, what is LEGO Serious Play?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those unfamiliar with it, LEGO Serious Play is a facilitation technique. It uses LEGO bricks to help people express ideas, thoughts, and emotions through building. It\u2019s not just playing with toys. The method encourages participants to use metaphors and storytelling as they build models. This offers a different, often deeper, way to communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-7-1024x916.png\" alt=\"LEGO Serious Play\" class=\"wp-image-15700\" width=\"608\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-7-1024x916.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-7-300x268.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-7-768x687.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-7-900x805.png 900w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-7.png 1111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><br>By engaging both hands and mind, LEGO Serious Play unlocks creative potential and makes it easier for participants to share their thoughts. Even thoughts that might be difficult to articulate verbally. The method is used in a variety of situations. From business strategy meetings to team-building workshops, and even problem-solving sessions. It&#8217;s all about breaking down barriers and enhancing engagement, and Katherine brought this concept to life during her session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using metaphor to open up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The session kicked off with an interactive exercise that got everyone thinking outside the box. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-Sheep-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15703\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-Sheep-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-Sheep-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-Sheep-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-Sheep-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-Sheep-1-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-Sheep-1-900x506.png 900w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-Sheep-1-1280x720.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>It&#8217;s sheep #4, isn&#8217;t it?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><br>It was playful, but it also illustrated how using metaphors can encourage creativity and draw out more personal, thoughtful responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katherine\u2019s goal was to show how using simple, playful prompts can help people open up and engage more fully. And it worked. Attendees immediately connected with the exercise, sharing insights that went far beyond the typical \u201cHow are you?\u201d responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thinking deeper with LEGO blocks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What was clear throughout the session was Katherine\u2019s enthusiasm for bringing fun into the workplace. But this doesn&#8217;t come at the expense of productivity &#8211; rather, it enhances it. By using facilitation methods like LEGO Serious Play, people may feel more comfortable expressing themselves and collaborating effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though LEGO Serious Play, is usually an in-person experience, Katherine expertly adapted it to the virtual setting. Allowing all attendees to participate from home with their own LEGO bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She asked participants to build something that represented their answer to the question: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>What strength do you bring to the team and why, and what&#8217;s your area for improvement?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were some really great builds shown but unfortunately, these aren&#8217;t reflected in the recording, so if you did build something and take a picture, please send it our way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ovrall, Katherine emphasised the genuine, unforced joy that LEGO Serious Play can bring into professional spaces. While her session at the conference was on the lighter side, she explained that the method can easily adapt to tackle more serious topics, making it an incredibly versatile tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Katherine, it\u2019s all about choosing the right tools and metaphors to create a welcoming vibe and a comfortable atmosphere, no matter the focus of the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Katherine Perrin\u2019s session at the TeamKinetic Conference showcased just how powerful innovative facilitation methods can be. By blending creativity with strategic communication, she demonstrated how tools like LEGO Serious Play can change the way we interact with one another in group settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a reminder that bringing a little play into serious processes isn&#8217;t a bad thing! It can lead to more meaningful and impactful conversations, ultimately helping teams work better together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, before we close off, we have to ask. Which sheep are you? <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-which-Sheep-are-you-1-1-1024x1019.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15716\" width=\"544\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-which-Sheep-are-you-1-1-1024x1019.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-which-Sheep-are-you-1-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-which-Sheep-are-you-1-1-768x764.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-which-Sheep-are-you-1-1-88x88.png 88w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-which-Sheep-are-you-1-1-1280x1274.png 1280w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LEGO-Serious-Play-which-Sheep-are-you-1-1.png 1507w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can find\u00a0<span style=\"color: #6fa200;\"><a style=\"color: #6fa200;\" href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/\">TeamKinetic<\/a><\/span> on social media and listen to our podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #1da1f2;\"><a style=\"color: #1da1f2;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #3b5998;\"><a style=\"color: #3b5998;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0a66c2;\"><a style=\"color: #0a66c2;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/teamkinetic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/TeamKinetic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #c32aa3;\"><a style=\"color: #c32aa3;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/teamkineticuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<span style=\"color: #1ed760;\"><a style=\"color: #1ed760;\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2qCaTamq77sAE9qmnCcQVe?si=161b47be46b64046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podcast<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you enjoyed using TeamKinetic?
