182 - On Purpose: A Client’s Perspective on a Facilitated Project with Sandy Wilson

What is it like to be on ‘the other side' of the workshop — to be a participant or a client?This podcast has always focused on conversations with facilitators, but perspectives from clients are just as valuable for understanding our work and processes.Hence, why this episode features Sandy Wilson, Director of Culture and Learning at Insights Learning and Development. In 2021, Insights initiated a company-wide facilitated LEGO Serious Play project, dubbed ‘On Purpose’.I’m shocked that it’s taken me 182 episodes to host an episode from the clients perspective, but it was more than worth the wait.
