Benefits
I hear and I forget. I see and I believe. I do and I understand.–Confucius (551-479 BC)
By partaking in Roleplay or Forum Theatre training, delegates will go on to significantly improve their performance in the workplace. This view is not only based on our firm beliefs having witnessed consistently positive outcomes but reflects the feedback our clients have given us.
Roleplay and Forum Theatre provide a truly unique opportunity for delegates to practise and develop the skills they use in the workplace. In Sport and the Arts, practise is the key to success; it is the most vital of all elements in the process of preparation. In business, however, this key element can often be overlooked, with an expectation of producing the perfect performance at a crucial, meeting, interview or presentation when having often, at best, just thought things through a short while before. Roleplay offers the business equivalent of a practise match or a dress rehearsal, allowing any participant to exercise or polish their ideas and skills ahead of an event. The knowledge gained from these practice sessions, in terms of what works and the impact you are making, is invaluable, inspiring a confidence that can be carried forward to real events. It is this new knowledge and confidence that allows delegates to change and develop their behaviours, thus benefiting them, their role in the business and, of course, the success of the business overall.
Roleplay or Forum Theatre as the practise part of a training programme sits perfectly alongside the theory part delivered therein. It is the most powerful method available of embedding the learning and ensuring a sustained change outcome.
The message from our clients is clear; the actors we provide and the service they deliver form the platform for change that delegates can apply in the work place.
I have worked with Julian and his team from Global Roleplay at a variety of clients. I have found them to be flexible, reliable and creative. More importantly, clients have always provided very positive feedback that the use of actors has really helped delegates understand issues in a different way that, in turn, supported people to embed their learning–Elliot Weider, Managing Director, All Round Leadership
