A Quality Solution Built by, and for, Your Team
We're about to dive into the hidden treasure trove of awesomeness that's already living rent-free in your team's collective noggin! 🧠💎
Picture this: Your team is like a superhero squad, each member with their own unique superpower of ideas, knowledge, and insights. But sometimes, these powers are trapped behind the kryptonite of human nature and group dynamics. That's where we come in.
We're not just talking about run-of-the-mill team building here. Oh no! We're talking about everything from "let's-get-to-know-each-other-better" events to "hold-onto-your-hats-we're-tackling-the-tough-stuff" discussions. 🎢💬
Now, here's our not-so-secret secret sauce (shh, don't tell anyone... or do, we're not the boss of you): We create a magical sandbox where YOUR team conjures up the solutions. It's like we're the game designers, and you're the players discovering hidden levels and unlocking achievements!
By letting your team be the heroes of their own story, not only do they flex their problem-solving muscles, but they also get that sweet, sweet buy-in. They're going to love it because they made it themselves!
Think of us as your team's GPS – we'll help you avoid those pesky roadblocks, but the journey and destination? That's all you, baby! 🗺️🚗
Ready to unleash your team's inner greatness? Let us know what sticky situations are gumming up your works, and we'll help you and your squad level up.
Let's make some magic happen – your team's next chapter of awesomeness awaits!

Testimonials
The entire team loved the opportunity to bring our values to life through the LEGO® workshop. It was exciting to see how developing articulations of our values in a physical and tangible way engaged each member of our team in unique and insightful ways. Brandon did a great job of connecting the work we have been doing as a team to bring these values to life in a fun and memorable workshop for our team."
- Alex Miller, Chief Commerce Officer - PERPAY
“The LEGO Workshop was used as a way to build trust and team within a cross-functional/cross-departmental Emerging Leadership Cohort at IPC. At first, our participants were unsure of what to expect, but as the workshop marched forward, they were able to explore their identities, their leadership philosophies, and their strengths.
I really appreciated how this began as a singular exercise which then built up to folks working together. It felt organic and genuine, which was something that contributed to a longer lasting sense of team.”
— Michelle Vidal, Talent Development Manager- Independent Purchasing Cooperative
“I had the pleasure of partnering with IN8Create to deliver an interactive and engaging Lego® Serious Play® workshop to a client. Brandon used Lego’s to facilitate a hands-on experience that allowed participants to uncover and appreciate differences in leadership styles, while simultaneously fostering teamwork. The Lego models built provided a visual of how the teams will work together to solve a significant organizational challenge.
It was amazing to watch the models evolve and how proud the teams were of their model, however more importantly, the exercise opened their eyes to valuing alternative perspectives. Great job Brandon!”
— Wendy Whelan, Vice President, Consulting Services, Right Management, Florida/Caribbean
Bringing in Brandon to facilitate a Lego Serious Play Team Building session on our pre-return-to-work day was the best decision I could have made as a manager. Our team had not been in a room together in two years and Brandon’s workshop allowed us to get to reconnect with each other in a much deeper way than we could have accomplished by just talking for the whole day. Each of us felt very seen by the process, as it helped us each express things about ourselves that have not been shared till now. I can honestly say that the team feels closer than it had before and I can see some of the anxieties about returning to work dissipating.
— Rachel Kalban, VP Research and Curriculum, 9 Story
"Brandon was a super engaging, fun and personable host of his IN8 Create LEGO event. We held it for a few members here at our WeWork and it was a fantastic way to inspire conversation, connection and creativity within our community. I highly recommend other companies to utilize Brandon's unique skillset surrounding LEGO Serious Play and book him for their next event!"
— Brenden Charles, Community Associate, WeWork
I really enjoyed the Lego workshop - I was grateful for how everybody was so sincere in their responses and took the play seriously, because it allowed us to go beyond the surface level, and it made me have a greater appreciation for the fact that over the past 2 years everyone on our team has gone through or is going through personal growth and life experiences (both happy and challenging) outside of work life. After so many months seeing each other in boxes on screens where we always have an agenda to address, it was really nice to have dedicated space for those moments of genuine connection, and taking the time to see and appreciate each other without there being a work-related task we had to get to.I love my team so I'm always happy to see them, but yesterday was particularly great because of the team building aspect. The Lego workshop was my favorite because I got to learn things about my team that I didn't know. And anytime you get to share a part of yourself with others, it continues to endear that person to you and builds greater empathy in how you handle working together. I really hope others get to take part in the same exercise because it was very revealing, and it gave me a lot to think about. Both the Lego Workshop and Graffiti Workshop was a great way to bond together as a team (after two years of remote work) and I appreciated especially how the Lego Workshop helped us see how we all approach things differently, even when we’re given the same tools. Think also being able to use our hands and be more tactile for both workshops was also a fun (and important) change of paceOur team's day together helped me feel more connected to everyone and excited about working together in person again. I really enjoyed the Lego workshop, which gave us an outlet to reflect on the past year, think forward to the year ahead, and consider our team dynamics. It was nice that it got us to reflect on both our personal and work lives. The graffiti workshop was fun too, and it was good to not think so much but just do!It was so nice to come together and be able to spend a significant amount of time dedicated to reflecting, bonding, and communicating with each other, with a goal (and impact) of helping us continue to grow individually and as a team.
