The Power of Big Conversations
Every organisation faces challenging conversations—some full of potential, others fraught with difficulty. What matters is ensuring everyone is heard and that the status quo is questioned to meet all needs.
Creative Solutions for Complex Problems
These conversations often demand fresh thinking. An external facilitator can help with big, urgent topics, but building internal skills empowers your team to handle everyday discussions with confidence.
A Stronger Communication Culture
Equip your team to tackle challenges with confidence—transforming communication barriers into opportunities for connection, collaboration, and growth.

How might we play this out?
Your team, your course.
Along with the intensive two day course for your small group of LEGO Serious Play facilitators-in-training, you’ll also get two full and flexible days of my time as a facilitator, co-designer, co-facilitator, and consultant to help you build the strongest foundation possible.
We’ll design these days to fit exactly what your school needs, but here’s a couple of suggestions.
Meet your facilitator
Hi! I’m Joel Birch.
I’m a longtime K-12 educator, and I spent a long time as an instructional coach and strategic consultant with a focus on the creative and critical use of learning technologies. These days I work with leaders across education, business, government, and community to help them conduct the big, important conversations that help them to steer their worlds towards their preferred vision of the future. Conversations that invite everyone at the table’s unique perspective, graciously facilitated to help the ideas that connect to find their right place.
(I’m also a conscientious objector to ever fully growing up.)
As a Certified Facilitator and Pro Trainer of LEGO Serious Play, and LSP Method Partner, I rely wholeheartedly upon the power of play, stories, and solving problems by thinking with our hands. In doing this I help individuals, teams, and communities to begin from an honest and authentic place to craft deep understanding, rich communication, and creative solutions. I also train and certify others to design and facilitate those conversations by themselves. Why work on a challenge when we could play with it instead?
I’ve been living and breathing LEGO Serious Play since 2018. I’ve worked with over 60 schools and a huge range of businesses and other agencies in the last decade, so I’ve seen firsthand how every context is unique, all tied together by the things that make us human.
