Testimonials
What executives say:
It was a very pleasant and educational experience. Christine is a topper in her profession and after the session I went back to the office with a positive energy boost and my head full of inspiration.
We started our ‘Brics’ year of the Confederatie Bouw with a workshop of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY facilitated by Christine. It was a surprising session. With the whole group we were amazed at the number of ideas we developed using LEGO® bricks. We used this methodology to give content to our ‘Brics’ year in order to build the agenda for the coming working year.
