🍍 "That's me sitting on a pineapple."

A senior developer said this during a team workshop, holding up a LEGO model of a minifigure stuck on a spiky plant.

The room went silent. Then something incredible happened.

What started as one person's frustration became their team's secret weapon. "Sometimes you have to sit on a pineapple" transformed from a complaint into their rallying cry.

Sprint planning meetings changed forever. The project manager would walk in with an "invisible piece of fruit" and ask, "Who wants the pineapple?" Suddenly, everyone's hand shot up.

The impossible tasks that used to cause resentment? They became badges of honor.

This is what happens when teams create psychological safety through play. Research shows LEGO Serious Play workshops create lasting improvements in team cohesion that traditional team building can't match.

The most honest, grown-up conversations happen when we give ourselves permission to play.

Sometimes the breakthrough your team needs is hiding behind a LEGO brick.
