In this brief vlog, the speaker recounts a recent team facilitation session that included a Lego Serious Play workshop in Ottawa. They reflect on how feelings of frustration and anger arise in the brain, trigger chemical responses, manifest in facial expressions and body language, and influence the surrounding environment and team dynamics. After the successful workshop, the speaker describes catching a cold train back to Montreal, noting the relaxing atmosphere and a beautiful sunset, signaling a shift from work intensity to personal calm.

Chapters

I just met with the team, facilitation team, and we're on our way to do the Lego Serious Play. We're very excited about it. More to come. You can just imagine if we're thinking, I'm frustrated, this is never gonna work, this, this whole project is a fail. And now what are we feeling? The brain is going, okay, got it, got it. And then And it sends all the chemicals. So now our feelings are frustration, anger, etc. And of course it shows on our face, the way we're showing up in our body, and it influences the environment. Everybody's going, okay, I don't know what's going on with him or her, but she's not having a good day, right? So it's all related to the brain. Just finished the team building here in Ottawa. Lego Serious Play went really well. It's very cold and catching a train back to Montreal. I can finally relax. We're on the train from Ottawa here heading to Montreal. Another beautiful sunset.
