Coaching using
LEGO® Serious Play®

A one-day experiential training for coaches who want to unlock deeper insight, creativity, and meaningful change.

Coaching thrives when clients can connect their thinking, emotions, and aspirations in ways that feel concrete and meaningful. LEGO® Serious Play® brings this to life by engaging clients through visual, tactile, and kinaesthetic senses. This can help your clients to literally see, shape, and hold their ideas in their hands.

Alongside powerful coaching conversations, clients build models that externalise their inner world. Abstract thoughts become visible. Complex feelings become structured. Challenges and opportunities become tangible. This shift supports deeper reflection, reduces cognitive load, and gives clients a new language and metaphors to describe what they’re experiencing.

Why LEGO® Serious Play® belongs in coaching

Coaching is at its most powerful when it helps individuals think differently, explore possibilities they didn’t know they had, and gain clarity they couldn’t reach alone. LEGO® Serious Play® elevates this process by giving clients a way to think with their hands, helping them surface ideas, emotions, patterns, and assumptions that often remain hidden in traditional coaching conversations.

When clients build models, they create metaphors that reveal insights with surprising honesty and precision. As a coach, this gives you fresh access to their inner world, allowing you to explore challenges, identity, goals, and decisions with greater depth and psychological safety.

Coaching using LEGO® Serious Play® blends the power of metaphor, storytelling, embodied cognition, and play, all within a structured method backed by research and used by thousands of practitioners worldwide. This training will show you how to confidently and ethically bring LEGO® Serious Play® into your coaching practice to help your client to:

• Model current realities – revealing connections, tensions, and assumptions that may have been hidden.
• Explore obstacles and impediments – giving physical form to what’s getting in the way.
• Create clear representations of desired future states – visions they can see, explain, and commit to.
• Design pathways forward – building journeys, experiments, and strategies that feel achievable and aligned.
• Push boundaries and set new possibilities – using the freedom of play to reimagine what’s possible and what they truly want.
