What our clients say

Testimonials

Thank you for joining us at our HR Team Day and your workshop about appreciation at work, communication and collaboration using LEGO® Serious Play®!
From planning to delivery of the program you have been a pleasure to work with and it was such a quick turnaround! Building metaphors with LEGO bricks made it easier to communicate what drives and what frustrates us at work and knowing how we like to show and receive gratitude at work will help us bond further as a team.
We were surprised about the amount of insights and hands-on practice in such a short time, and loved your positive energy and how engaged everyone was. I hope we will have another opportunity to work with you in the near future.

Kathrin Choffat, Adecco Group

I experienced Patrycja as a speaker and was thrilled by how she was able to engage and inspire the audience so well. I booked two workshops for my team with her as a facilitator and everyone was totally enthusiastic, which is really rare. My team and I were able to implement concrete actions from the sessions into our daily work and would engage Patrycja again at any time.
