We learn best when we play! Especially when it comes to social media.

So, if you want to learn more about social media come and play. Bring your device and be ready to try some new apps, tips and hacks that will make sharing on social easier.

The format of the event is designed for you to mingle, play and practice at your own pace. There will be a casual showcase of Canva.com at approximately 5:30pm.

Additional session in this series: Wednesday November 13, 4:30 - 6:30PM.

This event is brought to you by a Badfish Consulting and MESH Consulting collaboration.

Wine + Bites + Legos

Join us for a relaxed evening of Lego Serious Play with a curated wine tasting led by our friend and wine expert, Omar Chin. Enjoy wine and food pairings specially selected by Omar while exploring a little Lego fun with BadFish facilitator Amanda Doherty. 

Take home your own BadFish wine glass and Legos!

Problems are impossible to solve when we don’t agree on what the problems are. We think we have a problem solving issue, when really, we have a problem setting, issue.

Problem setting is a way to get past assumptions to become really clear about the nature of the issue at hand. Designers are trained to do this but managers are not. As a leadership skill, it is just as important as problem solving.

Join us for coffee and carbs as we explore how to stop wasting so much time, energy and money —with this first stage of design. You will be introduced to the concept and engage in a quick exercise to try it for yourself!

Many of us know a lot about what makes a good team. Yet it is easy to become overwhelmed with day-to-day urgencies and neglect to focus our attention for the highest impact. So, we muddle through…

Join Dr. Suzanne Piotrowski, for coffee and carbs as she introduces you to the five key dynamics of effective teams, the number one influencing “X” factor that is most often overlooked and learn how you can build a more positive, adaptive team culture focusing on that factor.

Suzanne will lead an informal and highly interactive session sharing key concepts and examples from her years of work with leadership teams and share an easy-to use assessment you can apply with your own team.

Lego Serious Play (LSP) was developed for, and by LEGO, in 1996 as a means to foster more creative strategy and leadership. Over the years it has grown into a respected methodology with certified practitioners worldwide. LSP is an innovative approach to strategy, innovation, creative problem solving, decision making and even organizational and team identity.

LEGO Serious Play is based on a set of fundamental beliefs about leadership and organizations.

• People are key to an organization’s success

• Success is dependent on hearing all the voices in the room

• People want to contribute; to be part of of something bigger and take ownership

• Teams often work sub-optimally, leaving knowledge untapped

Join us for our very first event in our 2019 BadFish Leading by Design series. Gary Jacobs, MFA, Amanda Doherty MFA and Calvin Uzelmeier, PhD will share their experiences using play and LSP to build stronger, more adaptive teams and organizations. Panel moderated by Suzanne Piotrowski, DM.

We will have time for socializing, snacking and…maybe there will be some LEGOS…
