Thanks for the post on “How We Decide” – the realistic flight simulators makes me think of an old quotation from a great football coach: “Practice does not make perfect; only perfect practice makes perfect. Good for Short Fuse to recognize this and to “walk the walk” in its trainings – I know – I have seen the facilitators in action…

Hey Tom – thanks for your comments! I really liked the analogy between corporate training and the flight simulator – glad you did too.

This makes total sense! Live interactive encounters and good simulations really bring to life issues that need to be worked through. I can see how live, role played training sessions can “break through” and make a difference in people. Corporate trainings can really be valuable and go beyond the dutifull requirements that employees attend. I’ll tell others to check out your site.

Thanks Rob – I think your mention of “telling their stories” brings up a valuable result of a good role play; it really serves as a catalyst to get the participants to share their own experiences about the issues, and gets the conversation into a deeper, more authentic place.

Role playing done well can be very useful and I agree that having professional actors present some of the scenes can make a major difference in how they can better portray the intensity of feelings that people in a real situation may be experiencing. There are also many good ways to get participants involved with the actors in a scene, telling their stories, or learning more about how to better portray reality through role plays. Keep up the fun and and good work.

Arthur;

You’ve had some interesting experiences with this I think – I’m intrigued with your last sentence “If anything, the role plays became too realistic, and conflicts that we thought were only being role played became much more real.” In corporate settings, people have been known to respond to the idea of role play with a degree of fear – often born out of having to step out of a familiar “role” and into a degree of self revelation.
