Workshop Title: How to Create Practice Simulations (Role Play)
Duration 1 to 2 days
Course Leaders: 1 facilitator
Number of Participants: max 12-15
Corporate actors: Highly Recommended
Participants will explore the fundamentals of creating and facilitating practice simulations (role plays) that enhance learning and skill development.
The workshop will include the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) questionnaires, delivered by certified MBTI practitioners, to help participants understand their facilitation style and how to adapt it to different simulation scenarios.
Through interactive exercises, role-plays with professional business actors, and discussions, participants will learn how to design realistic simulations, manage role play activities effectively, and provide feedback that promotes learning and improvement.
Design realistic simulations: Learn techniques to create role play scenarios that reflect real-world challenges and situations.
Facilitate role play activities: Develop skills to guide and manage role play sessions to ensure they are effective and engaging.
Provide constructive feedback: Gain strategies to deliver feedback that helps participants learn from their role play experiences.
Address real-world challenges: Use role play to explore and find solutions to common workplace issues and conflicts.
Adapt facilitation style: Use MBTI to identify your facilitation style and learn how to adapt it for different simulation scenarios.
Promote active learning: Encourage participants to actively engage in role play and reflect on their experiences to enhance learning.
Enhance learning outcomes: Learn how to use role play simulations to achieve better retention and application of skills.
Access to training resource members area for self-directed learning with follow-up coaching emails for 6 weeks after the workshop.
This will include on-the-job exercises and suggested self-directed learning to ensure maximum retention of learning.
"I’ve attended a few of DSTC’s training events. They worked with me to improve my sales and negotiating skills. What really impressed me with the training was how dynamic the training team were. Debra and her acting team were able to bring workplace situations to life, making the whole experience much more rewarding." This was not a naval gazing exercise of self-reflection but a constructive, dynamic and ultimately informative investigation into our differing psyches leading to greater awareness and understanding presented in an engaging manner. Skeptical colleagues were ultimately enthused by their learning, and we aim to broaden this experience with further courses."
"Debra and her team have worked extensively with my team designing, refining and delivering sales and coaching training. Among the high value Debra’s group brings to the table is the ability to understand the customer and selling situation in all its richness and use their acting skills to bring those situations to life in a way that challenges those being trained.
