Want in on the next Coaching Skills for Leaders lab?
This LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® lab runs in small cohorts a few times a year. There's no date on the calendar right now — but if there's interest, I'll open one.
Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know when the next date opens, with first chance to claim a spot before it fills.
You're already a coaching leader — and you're ready to be more intentional about it.
You believe in empowering your people.
You ask questions before giving answers — more often than not.
You catch yourself before solving the problem yourself — most of the time.
But sometimes, in the moment, when time is short and the answer's right there, your coach approach doesn't always show up the way you want it to.
Sometimes the question you meant to ask becomes the answer you give.
Sometimes a coachable moment passes before you fully recognize it.
Not because you don't know how to coach.
Because real coaching habits are built over hundreds of small practice moments, not in a weekend training.
You don't need more theory or another certification.
You need a space to look at the habits you've already built — and name the next one you want to grow.
You need a clearer picture of your coaching patterns — and the awareness to know what needs to pivot.
Build your way into a more intentional coach approach — one brick at a time.
Join us for a 2-hour virtual coaching lab using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. You’ll explore your best coaching moments and your biggest obstacles — and find one core coaching shift you want to make.

Coaching Skills for Leaders
A LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Coaching Lab
Why LEGO® bricks?
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is a research-backed methodology used by NASA, Google, and Harvard Business School to surface insights that conversations alone can't. When you build a model, your hands bring to life what your mind can't always put to words.
You don't need to be artistic, creative, or experienced with LEGO® bricks. You just need to be open to exploring simple LEGO® builds to express your thoughts.
Who is this for?
✦ You've read the books, taken the trainings, but you still find yourself often giving the answer when you meant to ask the question.
✦ You can tell when a conversation needs coaching, but you're not always sure what to do in the moment.
✦ You've had moments where coaching has clicked — and you'd love to make those moments less accidental.
✦ You're a consultant or coach with a more directive style and you want to practice the shift to coaching-mode.
✦ You're passionate about coaching in the workplace and want to keep shaping your own coach approach.
✦ You're a little skeptical that LEGO® bricks have anything to do with coaching — but you're curious enough to find out.
Important Notes:
✦ Bring your own bricks. The lab price does not include the cost of LEGO® bricks.
✦ No specific kit and no LEGO® skills required — you can use bricks you already have at home, borrow some from a friend, or pick up a simple kit like this one a few days before the session.

We’ll focus on four key themes:
The Assessment
We start by identifying the coaching habits you're already practicing.
Your Strengths
We’ll get specific about the conditions that make great coaching possible.
The Barriers
You’ll name the puzzle pieces- the habits, fears, and pressures that pull you out of coaching mode.
One Key Shift
You leave with one specific shift to practice in your next conversation. Plus: a bonus coaching for leaders toolkit.
Meet Your Executive Coach
I'm Dr. Bethany Peters, and I help leaders develop the coaching mindset that fosters growth, innovation, and lasting change 👋🏻
Having coached leaders across industries and at all levels, I know more is needed than a simple training or framework to make the shift from directing to coaching. You need an honest look at how you’re already showing up, space to practice, and peers to inspire and inform you.
Coaching Skills for Leaders uses a creative medium — the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methodology — to help you see your coaching habits, name what's getting in the way, and leave with one specific shift you want to make.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A Coaching Lab is a fusion of learning, coaching, and growth where research meets real-world leadership.
It is a reflective, collaborative space designed to slow down and experiment—building awareness, testing ideas, and making new strategies stick.
We’ll be doing a mix of learning, individual work, and group discussion.
-
No. This lab is designed to be useful whether you're a leader who's just starting to take a coach approach, a manager who's done coaching trainings before, a consultant shifting into coaching mode, or a new coach experimenting with your own approach. The methodology meets you where you are.
-
LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is a research-backed methodology developed at MIT and the LEGO Group — used by NASA, Google, and Harvard Business School. It's not a gimmick. It's a structured way to surface what our analytical minds can't quite articulate.
When you build a model of how you coach, your hands externalize what your head can't name. Patterns become visible. Insights stick. You don't need to be artistic — just willing to build.
-
Not at all. The first 20 minutes of the lab are dedicated to skills-building so everyone gets comfortable with the method. There are no wrong answers, no artistic skill required — just the willingness to build and share.
-
LEGO® bricks are not provided for the workshop. A basic LEGO® brick set works perfectly. I'll send a recommended kit link in your registration confirmation, with enough lead time to order. Plan to have your bricks ready by the day of the lab.
-
No. This is a 2-hour developmental lab, not a credentialing program. You'll leave with sharper self-awareness about how you coach and one specific shift to practice — not a certificate.
-
Because this is a small group, collaborative and creative environment designed for real-time insights, this is a live-only event and no recording will be shared. Detailed session notes will be shared with each participant to help solidify takeaways.
-
For this specific program, there are no refunds, except for exceptional cases such as medical emergencies. If you cannot attend due to a crisis, I can offer you a credit for attending a future coaching lab.
