• 008 - Workshops Built on Sand Won’t Stand

  In this episode, Michel and Matthias check in at the Bricks Boutique Hotel in Frankfurt to explore the vital – yet sometimes underestimated – phase of every LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshop: Skills Building. Why is this phase so much more than just an introduction? And what actually happens when facilitators skip it – in the name of saving time? Together, they walk you through the four core exercises that ease participants into the method, build psychological safety, and lay the foundation for meaningful storymaking. From the iconic tower build to the first encounter with metaphors – this episode is a deep dive into what makes workshops truly impactful. Michel shares insights from over 15 years of experience, revealing why skipping the Skills Building phase is like removing the foundation from a house – and expecting it to stand. Whether you're a new facilitator or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with practical reflections, subtle learnings, and that one message we all need to hear: don’t press the red button.
