Using actor / roleplayers for your training
Saturday May 14th, 2011I use a lot of roleplay in my work as a trainer, and as an actor/roleplayer I provide realistic situations for recruitment, training, formal assessment and promotion events.
Participants often go through three stages when they first hear they’re going to be roleplaying:
- It begins with ‘Oh no … I really hate roleplay …’
- Then it progresses to ‘I’m really nervous …do I have to?’
- And after the event, it’s ‘that was really useful! Can we have some more?’
Professional actor/roleplayers can be a real asset for your training, assessment and recruitment events.
