Giandra is the Founder and Lead Facilitator of Level Up Leadership & Personal Development Training. With a background spanning hospitality, entrepreneurship, and banking, she brings a rare combination of operational experience, business insight, and people-centered leadership to her work.

After studying International Hospitality Management in the Netherlands and gaining international exposure in Europe and Asia, Giandra returned to Aruba, driven by a strong desire to contribute to her community. Her career journey, from luxury hospitality and entrepreneurship to four years in banking, ultimately led her back to her true passion: leadership and personal development.

Giandra is a certified John Maxwell Team Member, a Maxwell Method DISC Consultant, and in 2022 became the first LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Certified Facilitator in Aruba. Since 2023, she has worked with the Executive Education Universidad de los Andes, providing Executive Education to Level Up clients across the Dutch Caribbean. She designs and facilitates transformative learning experiences that help individuals and organizations gain clarity, strengthen collaboration, and unlock their full potential.

Leadership often means making decisions without having all the answers. When situations become complex, it can be difficult to see the full picture, understand different perspectives, or decide on the best way forward.

During this interactive workshop, Giandra de Cuba will guide participants through the LEGO® Serious Play® method. By building ideas and challenges with LEGO® bricks, participants can make abstract thoughts visible, explore different possibilities, and discover insights that may not come forward through conversation alone.

The workshop creates space to think with your hands, reflect on your approach to leadership, and learn from the perspectives of others. It is not about building the perfect model, it is about using creativity to better understand complex situations.

How LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® works

The process follows a simple rhythm: a question, a build, and a shared story. The facilitator introduces a question, and each participant builds a model that represents their response. The bricks become metaphors for ideas, experiences, and challenges.

Participants then explain the meaning behind their own models. Everyone has the opportunity to contribute, ask questions, and listen, creating space for perspectives that might otherwise go unspoken.

For leaders, this offers a practical way to explore how people see the same situation differently, examine assumptions, and consider possible ways forward.

What to expect

  • A practical and hands-on workshop
  • Guided individual and group exercises
  • Space to explore a real leadership challenge
  • New perspectives on complex situations
  • Reflection and meaningful conversation
  • Insights you can take into your work and everyday life

You do not need any previous experience with LEGO® Serious Play® to participate. The workshop is open to anyone interested in leadership, problem-solving, personal growth, or finding new ways to approach change.
