Photolangage® On The Road

Introduction and ice-breaker way

In a meeting, a training session, a seminar: everyone draw a card that particularly attracts them, shows it to the group, starting with: “this card is all about me because…”. Or : “I’m more of the type to rush on a highway or to stroll on a small path? I’m more American highways, mountain roads, large illuminated boulevards, forgotten alleys, forest paths, country lanes, caravan routes, the Silk Road, the wine route…”
Or else : “This road reminds me of a road from my childhood, or my holidays in Bali etc.”
And so, everyone introduces themselves in a lively, open, involved, evocative and playful way…

Cross-presentations way

Same principle in cross-presentations : I choose a card to present my neighbor, in relation to the representation I have of him. And vice versa. If I don’t know him, I choose according to what I perceive of him or her intuitively by observing him or her for a few seconds. And vice versa…

Photo montage way

To formalize or symbolize a team or a company project, a roadmap, an action plan, an educational itinerary…
The group can collectively create a photomontage that symbolizes the common vision, or each subgroup can materialize their vision using a photomontage and then present it to the group.

Accompaniment, coaching, therapy, education:

Ask your client or patient to choose a card to explore and clarify with them their project, their objective, their situation, their needs, expectations. You can ask your client questions such as:

• What destination are you aiming for?
• What type of road are you currently on? Does it suit you? And if not, what other route would you like to take?
• What type of path will you take to reach your goal? Why?
• Who are you on this road? The driver, the guide, the passenger, the spectator, the latecomer? Etc.
• Do you need to draw another card to continue your journey, reach your goal… Which one?
• What will your achieved goal look like? (with words or with a card)

You can apply these collective uses within the framework of individual support: personal coaching, management interview, recruitment interview, annual interview, coaching, therapy, education, school support, etc.
