Transform Leadership & Community Building with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®
In a world that desperately needs stronger connections, deeper understanding, and more inclusive collaboration, organizations are seeking meaningful ways to bring people together and create positive change. LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® harnesses the power of play and storytelling to break down barriers, nurture emotional intelligence, and build bridges across differences. This transformative approach helps groups discover their shared purpose while honoring and embracing the unique perspectives each person brings to the table.
The Heart of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®
Traditional approaches to building community and developing leadership often miss the deep human connections that drive meaningful change. LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® creates a space where every voice matters and where shared understanding grows through the simple act of building together. When we work with our hands, we unlock wisdom that might otherwise remain hidden, creating pathways to deeper empathy and authentic collaboration.
Through This Journey Together, Groups Experience:
Deeper connections across different perspectives and backgrounds
Authentic expression of ideas and feelings
Growth in emotional awareness and empathy
Fuller participation from quiet voices
Genuine cultural understanding and inclusion
Collaborative approaches to challenges
Emergence of collective wisdom
Shared vision for positive change

Organizations We Serve
I’m Your Facilitator, Erica Mattison
After building my rewarding social impact career, I founded Erica Mattison Coaching & Consulting as a resource for people seeking to do good in the world and do well in their lives. This was after completing degrees in psychology, public administration, and law.
As I built my practice, I continued working in 9-to-5 roles, such as environmental protection lobbyist and director of strategic communications for a higher-education sustainability program.
In 2022, I went all in with my coaching practice to serve more clients and immerse myself in career and professional development. I coach individuals and groups and lead workshops and talks for organizations. As a connector and convenor, I host the Thriving Careers Community. I am pleased to be the author of “Clarifying What Matters.”
As a coach and facilitator, I incorporate play into my work and help you do the same.
