Welcome to the "THINK LIKE A PRO" workshop, where we will explore how to empower critical thinking through the use of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Lego Seriousplay (LSP). Critical thinking is an essential skill in today's fast-paced and complex world, and it is increasingly important for individuals and teams to be able to think critically in order to make informed decisions, solve problems, and achieve their goals.

In this workshop, we will provide you with the tools and techniques to enhance your critical thinking abilities using NLP and LSP. NLP is a powerful methodology for personal and professional development, based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. LSP, on the other hand, is a playful and creative approach to problem solving that uses Lego bricks as a medium for communication and ideation.

Throughout the workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn and practice NLP techniques, participate in LSP activities, and integrate these two approaches to develop your critical thinking skills. Our aim is to provide you with a fun and engaging learning experience that will leave you feeling empowered and confident in your ability to think like a pro.

So, let's get started and begin our journey towards becoming critical thinkers who are able to navigate the challenges of today's world with ease and confidence!
