Myth Busting LEGO Serious Play - Nikie and Ben were both enthusiastic and included a good mix of presentation with Q and A.

Maxine Ramsay

Great overview of myths around LSP and also some practical tips and ideas along the way. Useful to have two facilitators in the mix with different experiences of LSP which they could share.

This was exactly the type of online learning which works for me - bite size in terms of time, and succinct in terms of theoretical knowledge. It answered lots of questions I had, debunked a lot of myths I had heard and helped me to learn with others in a well designed and informative way - it gave me a greater understanding of Lego Serious Play and has helped me to make decisions about what I will do in the future. Thank you

Nikie Forster

You might not think early roles in radio, interior design and DIY sound like the most convincing career choices for someone who has since spent over two decades as a Learning and Development professional! But all three of these roles gave me some great opportunities to learn about people, hone my training, and facilitation skills, and craft my own path in a career I love. Having gained many professional qualifications and experience in public and private sector L&D roles, I founded Curious Lighthouse Learning Consultancy Ltd in early 2016, where I specialises in increasing competence and confidence in Line Managers and Trainers to enhance their performance, whether they are at the very start of their journey or experienced professionals. ​​ I love that my role allows me to work with all types of companies from small growing companies to larger established corporates, and from local charities to the NHS Trusts. ​I'm passionate about using creative learning methods which, as well as increasing engagement in the sessions, ensures better retention of information and quicker transfer of skills back into the workplace. (And yes, I do use LEGO® in many of the my sessions!!) ​​​Curious Lighthouse is based in Hampshire and mainly serves the south coast.

Ben Mizen

Ben is passionate about learning and the positive impact that it can have on individuals, teams and organisations! Qualified and experienced as a teacher, youth worker and adviser, Ben has worked with numerous agencies with learning and training as the main focus. During his time as an adviser, he further developed his interests in creative management and leadership, with the Kaospilots in Denmark, and also became a trained LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator. In 2018 Ben founded Ideas Alchemy which blends the worlds of smart thinking, innovative training, pure creativity, team development and organisational culture.
