Creative Conversations that Connect People
BrickTalk uses LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® to make thinking visible. With simple bricks, every person has a way to build, share, and contribute. Everyone belongs, and every story matters.
The Challenge
People need new ways to connect, share ideas, and feel heard. Traditional activities and meetings often leave some voices out — and when that happens, valuable insights stay hidden. Stories, experiences, and creative solutions get buried instead of shared.
That hidden knowledge is everywhere: in a resident’s life memories, a student’s quiet perspective, a family discussion, or even the planning of a community calendar. When those voices are unlocked, communities discover fresh ideas, form stronger bonds, and a deeper sense of belonging.
The BrickTalk Solution
At BrickTalk, the tool is LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® — but the difference lies in how it’s used. Every session is designed and guided by Wayne and Dr Chris Chalmers, who bring decades of teaching, research, and facilitation experience to the table.
Chris draws on her award-winning career in education and innovation to create inclusive workshops where every participant feels valued. Wayne translates complex ideas into simple, engaging activities that spark creativity and conversation.
Together, they use LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® to make thinking visible, unlock hidden knowledge, and give every voice a place in the story.

Why It Works
BrickTalk workshops are grounded in constructionism — the learning theory pioneered by Seymour Papert at MIT. Papert showed that people learn more deeply when they actively construct something external to themselves, rather than just absorbing information.
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® builds on this tradition. By using the hands to build models, participants activate the hand–mind connection. This engages different parts of the brain, helping to unlock memories, perspectives, and insights that don’t always surface in ordinary conversation.
The result is a process that makes thinking visible, sparks reflection, and gives every participant a voice. It’s an approach backed by decades of research into learning, creativity, and group dynamics — and one that works across all ages and settings.
Who We Work With
BrickTalk connects with people who are looking for something different — something that sparks curiosity and gets participants genuinely engaged.
Our workshops are for organisers and leaders who want to:
Move beyond the usual activities and try an out-of-the-box approach.
Create energy and excitement in their group, whether that’s residents, students, volunteers, or staff.
Give every participant a chance to be heard, not just the confident few.
Use play as a serious tool for unlocking new ideas and perspectives.
The moment LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is mentioned, people want to join in. It feels fun and familiar, yet it delivers fresh insights and stronger connections every time.
If you’re searching for a creative way to engage your people, BrickTalk is built for you.
“Thanks to Wayne and the team we had a fabulous day using the Lego Serious Play methodology to explore our vision, business plan and individual role alignment to achieving our goals. We also had loads of fun and built an even stronger sense of team. We had as many who had never used Lego before as we did avid fans and all enjoyed their time. A great team building experience!”
