Testimonials
Tom Evans
Commercial Manager
"The LEGO went down a storm and there was a real buzz around the office which was felt for some weeks afterwards. Utilising LEGO to think differently, taking the teams out of the day to day whilst still providing actionable insight that could be implemented when back at work. We had amazing feedback from the team and the session was described as the best externally facilitated session people have had in their careers."
Emily and Taylor Lawrence

"Developing our athlete persona's and identities through LEGO was so much fun! Focusing our training aims, managing our time and lifestyles and for my part (Emily), planning my athletic identity retirement transition which hasn't been easy... but using LEGO to picture my new role and lifestyle helped me explore what I wasn't able to verbalise or write down. It was an amazing session!"
