As the world turns its eyes to Paris for the Olympics, we are reminded of the sheer dedication and rigorous training each athlete has undergone to reach this pinnacle of success. The Olympic Games are a celebration of human potential, showcasing not just talent but the relentless pursuit of excellence. This pursuit, however, is not limited to sports alone. It serves as a powerful metaphor for any endeavor in life where mastery is the ultimate goal.
Just as Olympians undergo years of grueling preparation to perform at their best, play practitioners in the LEGO® SERIOUS® PLAY method must embrace deliberate practice to achieve mastery in our respective fields. The journey to excellence is universal and global.
At Strategic Play Global, we designed this program for you if:
- You originally took your LEGO training years ago and you want to brush up on those skills.
- You were shut down during the pandemic and want to kickstart your practice again.
- You have been using LSP with success and are ready to move on to the next level of mastery.
- You want to have a full toolbox ready to go for any client engagement opportunity.
- You need to design your own unique workshops and want to gather a variety of uses and approaches.
If you are using LEGO methods in your work and are keen to take your skills to the next level, join us in Malibu September 26 – 29 to earn your Masters Level Certification. We are gathering at Pepperdine University at the Graziadio Business Center. This just happens to be the home some days to our licensed trainer Dr. Steve Ralph. Not only did he coordinate this comprehensive event, he will also be one of your trainers.
Overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean, we will take a deep dive into certifications for a number of jam-packed advanced courses with a flip classroom approach to maximize your time and accommodate all approaches to learning.
We are running the trainings in classrooms setup like workshops. This way participants will experience, from start to finish, how to offer the workshops. They will also see multiple LSP designs back-to-back in action as they take their skills to the LSP Master's Level!
