Team Building
Your team knows each other’s coffee orders. Not how they spend their Saturdays.
60 or 90 minutes. Real conversations. Everyone keeps their LEGO.
Our most popular session
Building Connections
Your quiet engineer once wanted to open a food truck. Your most competitive sales rep throws pottery on weekends. Did you know that?
Probably not. Your team shares a floor, a Slack channel, and strong opinions about the thermostat. They don't know much else.
Building Connections fixes that in 60 or 90 minutes.
Everyone gathers around a table with a pile of bricks. Using LEGO® Serious Play®, each person gets a simple prompt, a few minutes to build, and a turn to explain what they made. The model does the heavy lifting. People talk about the thing in their hands and end up telling you who they are.
Nothing too personal. Just the stories that never come up between meetings.
The quiet one usually turns out to have the best story in the room.
You'll notice the difference the following week. Someone asks about the food truck. Someone else brings in a mug. The hallway gets a little louder.
"It allowed us to go beyond the surface level."
"I saw people open up in a new way."
60 minutes: 4 builds. 90 minutes: 6 builds.
When the team gets along but feels stuck
Team Reset
Same table, same bricks, one more layer.
Team Reset opens with a quick tower build to get everyone talking. Then the team builds around two kinds of questions. First, who we are: the connection builds from Building Connections. Then how we're working: what's going well, what's getting in the way, and what we'd change.
Everyone gets a turn. Nobody gets skipped. The answers land on the model, not on a colleague, so the honest version comes out.
Your team leaves with a short list of things to start, stop, and keep, written by the people who have to live with it.
60 minutes: 2 connection builds, 2 working builds. 90 minutes: 3 and 3.
However your team works, we can run it.
In person. We come to you with the bricks. You provide the room.
Hybrid. Some of the team in the room, some on screen. Everyone builds, everyone shares, nobody is a second-class attendee.
Virtual. Everyone joins from wherever they are. We ship each person a LEGO kit ahead of time.
Remote facilitator. Your team is together in one room. We facilitate on screen. Same session, no travel fee.
How it works
Groups of 6 to 8 per table, so everyone gets real time to share. Larger groups split into multiple tables.
Everyone keeps their LEGO kit.
No LEGO experience required. Just bring your people.
Run it as is, or tell us what's going on and we'll tailor the questions.
Client story: 9Story Media
Rachel Kalban's research team hadn't been in the same room for two years. Before their first day back in the New York office, she brought us in for a Building Connections session.
"I can honestly say that the team feels closer than it had before and I can see some of the anxieties about returning to work dissipating."
Participant
"Bringing in Brandon to facilitate a LEGO Serious Play Team Building session on our pre-return-to-work day was the best decision I could have made as a manager."

Want more than an afternoon?
A good session gets people talking. If you want the team to agree on what good looks like and hold to it, that takes a few more steps.
Let's find a date.
Tell me about your team and what you're hoping for. I'll suggest the right session and format.
Onward,
Brandon
