In this Episode of #TheOliverSchirachShow, I got to talk to Per Kristiansen one of the very first employees working on the development of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method back in 2000

We got to talk about:

• He describes himself as: Playful (Exploring, safe space), Predictability & Integrity => Boundaries, so people know what to expect from Per
• Flow requires certain boundaries
• His story from being a vine merchant to become a partner and co-founder of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Method
• Background in Management, Consultancy, Business Change Management etc
• How he got into LSP
• The story of LSP and why LEGO® didn’t shout it out into the world. But let it grow slowly
• It started as a strategy workshop
• What is LSP? A problem solving technique
• It’s a language. A communication technique. People tend to answer too fast and do not really think.
• How our brain processes information
• How LSP and LEGO bricks help thinking and problem solving (7-10min block to think, 3D Information, Metaphors, Modularity of bricks and elements)
• Who profits to use LSP? It’s a language. Everyone profits in a way

The 4 Step Core Process of LEGO SERIOUS PLAY.

1. Core step 1: Posing a question: the facilitator poses a question or challenge
2. Core step 2: Building a personal model: Everyone builds their answer to that question using Lego bricks. The available bricks are designed to inspire the use of metaphors and story making
3. Core step 3: Sharing the model: Everyone is invited to share their model with the other participants. This ensures 100% participation and 100% distribution and understanding of the knowledge.
4. Core step 4: Reflecting on the model: Try to distil some insights, points of attention, clarifications in relation to the model.

Vi Kikker pa flow og kreativitet idag. Hvordan pavirker vores lives erfaringer os og hvordan hjelper Daniel virksomheder med at loese deres medarbejderes blokader

Daniel ejer to virksomheder. 1st er en enkel mands konsulent, digital inovation virksomhed.

Den anden handler om liveskraft og vedvare i praksis, hvor han gar ud til virksomhed, med tanke hvis virksomhed gør noget godt til medarbejders liveskraft sa far de det også bedre

3 ord at beskriver Daniel:

- Viljestærk. Når besluter sig til noget, kan han sætte sig ind i det. Men hvis han ikke vil gøre det, så vil han ikke bruge energi på det.

- Han skulle lære igen at bruge sin fysiske energi. Som barn lærte han at lukke det ned, da omverdenen anså ham at han var for meget. Så han lagde lå på denne energi. Han skjulte det virkelige energiske selv for at få mindre negativ feedback fra andre. Han blever mindre

- Rolig. At vare hel stille imens meditation. Han kan føle energien indenfor og udenfor blever han opfat som rolig.

Colour: Hvid, fordi den indeholder alle farver. De sidste 6 år af hans liv har handlet om at være i flow og at acceptere sig selv. Vi ændrer os hele tiden for at finde vores sande essens.

Hemlighed:

- Gaven af en Tantra weekend til ham og hans kone fra hans mor til deres døtres 1 års fødselsdag

Vi talte om:

• Udanelse som flow designer. Digital og organisations innovation
• Hvordan Daniel er med til at skabe et mere kreativt arbejdsmiljø
• Jo mere Daniel åbner op og er i flow jo mere kan han hjælpe klienterne
• Dominans baseret kultur
• Vi prestere meget bedre nar vi er i flowen. At lære at give slip af kontrollen.
• Giver slip af ego identifikation
• Hvis alt er for frit sa er vi usikre men lige nu er strukturer meget for rigid sa kan vi ikke vare kreative
• Hvad er kreativitet
• At skabe noget nyt. Mange gang skal man destruer noget for at skabe noget nyt.
• Vi har en kreative kraft i vores krop.
• Kreativitet er udgangspunkt af livet.
• Misforståelse af kreativitet. “ Nogen er kreativ og nogen er ikke.” Men vi allesammen er kreativ. Den handler om at nogle er mere åbne over for kreativitet end andre.
• Hvordan oplevelser i vores liv kan såre os, og at vi så kommer at lukker ned, og blokere vores flow. Vores lives energi
• Børn er ekstrem kreative i forhold til voksne
• Innovation: Nytanke eller omtanke noget. Kreativitet er en del af det. Innovation og Kreativitet er sammen.
• Yoga, meditation og åndetræt
• Vores vestlig hvidskab arbejder med den ydre verden og Yoga er systemastisk arbejde med den indre verden

Rådgivning/ Call to Action

Åndedræt får luften dybt ned i lungerne

Yoga og meditation hjælper med bevidstheden og åndedrættet. Afslut din yoga med en meditation

Another great interview were I and my guest dive deeper into the spiritual world. Marya is a researcher at New World Together were she looks at the human unconsciousness. The research and her own life path have made her an expert in Intergenerational trauma, relational trauma and past life trauma treatment.

Marya Umar is a medium, channel, high priestess healer and self relationship coach from Indonesia. She has grown up in a family were working with spirits and healing practices is normal and has been passed down from her ancient lineage. Marya is very honest in sharing her awakening process, trauma handling and how to change cultural and religious paradigms. Her no nonsense but down to earth approach in teaching and guiding gives you real applicable tools to look at your own traumas, shadows and fear and start working on them to become free of them. Lets welcome Marya “a Cycle Breaker”

The three words describing her: Compassion, Wisdom and Depth

Colour: Sunset

We got to talk about:

• Our internal destructive self-talk, inner critic
• Self-Love & how she learned about it
• Increase Self Love. Creates more understanding and less judging of self and others
• Create Self Awareness; Accept and embrace your shadows
• Fear & the function as a messenger
• Shadow work; How to see and work with them
• Trauma; Childhood, generational, religious, cultural trauma and how to recognise the signs
• Trauma stored in our DNA, on a cellular level and stuck in our nervous system. So the body reacts when stressed
• We can all be a Cycle Breaker
• Traditional/Family sicknesses coming from ancestral trauma, grandparents or older generations
• Spirituality and asian culture
• How she was introduced to her spirit guide and opened her sixth sense
• Her spiritual gifts
• Good versus bad spirits and how to distinguish
• People with those gifts have to be careful not to trust all spirits. If you are ego driven you might take advice from bad spirits and bad things will happen
• SHIFT “Don’t, Should have to, Shouldn’t” into more conscious words

Shadow work tip

1. Self Acceptance: You need to accept your feelings, fear, angers, shame, blame, hopelessness, feeling too small
2. For each feeling ask yourself: What is this feeling trying to tell and show me?

You can also google the feeling to get an idea what it means or what you could do.

Call to Action:

• Embrace and let go of fear
• Let go of desires. First you need to understand why you have them
• Observe yourself without judgement
• Practice to ask yourself often questions
• Connect with stillness, with yourself, get bored, focus on your breath and learn to get anchored
• Learn to be brave and step into the unknown. Uncertainty makes the ego feel threatened

Advice to her younger self:

Observe your ego. “The Ego thinks in Judgements; Awareness thinks in Questions”

It is an advanced spiritual interview. So if you are not used to this topic you might feel triggered. I had the same when listening or reading Eckhard Tolle or Osho,

Listen to Dilmi’s great story how she moved from dark place, to a great spiritual awakening and how her ego died. Seeing the world for what it is for the first time after a long dream.

For this episode I got the seldom chance to have two guests at the same time. Aidan The Wizard O’Sullivan with his co-host and business partner Ashley Green Mindreader. Two young mind magicians finding their niche, combining business and magic entertainment, they are able to help magicians all around the world with their project “The Successful Mentalist”. By offering a podcast, blogging, courses, a private community, conventions, coaching (group and individual), networking event, and finding other new ways to deliver information to the magician world. So they can improve all their lives by 2040. To do so they had to take their dream, of becoming full-time magicians, and put it on the side burner.

This episode has been as much fun as the two previous ones and again full with actionable tips to improve your life. Ashley and Aidan are so complimentary in many ways and full of energy that I am sure anyone listening to this episode will learn something new that you can apply right away. The whole interview starts rather weird with us talking about Ashley’s weird objects and Aidan’s objection towards them.

Topics we got to talk about

• Love for entertainment, mind reading
• Working mostly virtually together
• Their similarities (business, mind reading) and opposites in execution and style
• How they complete each other
• TSM, start, innovation and action beats perfection
• Impostor syndrome
• Working faster and not just harder
• Entertainment business during Covid Lock Down
• The beliefs in the magic world they want to change
• Biohacking
• Identity-shift, change your identity to improve your life
• Creativity what it is and how to train it
• Who will stand in your way to change and who will support you
• Big Hairy Audacious Goals
• Aidan’s three MTP “Massively Transformative Purpose” Missions he wants to have started in his lifetime
• Who is learning to become a magician
• It’s all about the audience. It’s not about me
• Tips and skills for a good performance
• “Do it because you enjoy it”
• What TSM is offering to the world

Goal Setting:

Clear goal setting involves deep reflection, not just on your previous year but on your life, yourself.

That way you bring more on the table about you and what you want than anyone else could. You know your strengths and weaknesses. I want this and that … because it helps me with this, because I can do that… because it clicks here and there.
