013 - Through the Practical Lens - Coaching Hacks with Angela Taverna & Anna Kandler

When words fail, bricks speak What do you do when your coachee sits across from you, unable to find words for what's really going on? This is where Anna Kandler and Angela Taverna discovered something extraordinary: LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® isn't just for groups and teams – it's a game-changer for one-to-one coaching. In this episode, the two facilitators from Germany and Switzerland share their journey of creating The 7 Powerful Coaching Hacks. They met 400 kilometers apart, connected over a shared vision, and did something remarkable: They coached each other remotely using the very methods in their book. That's how confident they are. We explore why building with bricks becomes magic when language fails, how tangibility opens doors that words keep closed, and why a simple model can reveal more truth than hours of conversation. Anna and Angela talk about working online, working offline, and everything in between – because these hacks work everywhere. But there's more: These two are thinking big. They're planning a 5-10 day educational program for facilitators who want to become coaches. A full bridge between two worlds that most people thought could never meet. A raw, honest conversation about transformation, the power of collaboration across borders, and what happens when you stop trying to talk people through their problems and let them build their way out instead. ================ Contact For questions, feedback, and suggestions, feel free to email us at: LSP@bricks-boutique-hotel.com [LSP@bricks-boutique-hotel.com] Podcast Webseite https://bricks-boutique-hotel.com [https://bricks-boutique-hotel.com] ================ Bricks and Business https://www.bricksandbusiness.com [https://www.bricksandbusiness.com] The LSP Magazine https://lspmagazine.com [https://lspmagazine.com] ================ BRICKOLUTION® https://brickolution.com [https://brickolution.com] ================ The Association of Master Trainers in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method https://seriousplay.training [https://seriousplay.training]
