Podcast Season 7 - CSR, Culture, & Connection

In this episode, Jolynn Ledgerwood breaks down LEGO Serious Play, a surprisingly powerful facilitation method that unlocks subconscious thinking, levels the playing field between loud and quiet personalities, and surfaces insights that whiteboards and strategy sessions never could. From helping a school district visualize the ripple effects of a major policy decision to uniting a diverse high school basketball team, Jolynn’s work proves that play isn’t frivolous—it’s one of the most effective tools in the L&D toolkit. We also explore how LEGO Serious Play can extend beyond the boardroom, touching on how companies can leverage it as part of their CSR efforts to build stronger connections with the communities they serve. If you’re a leader navigating layoffs, team silos, or just looking for a fresh approach to corporate learning and development, this episode will make you rethink what serious work actually looks like.

In this episode, executive coach and communication expert EG Sebastian joins the show to talk about why corporate social responsibility (CSR) should start inside the workplace—by building stronger relationships and better communication between teams.
