Using Actor Led Interventions to Enhance the Training
All our courses offer the option to work with professional actors to bring the 'theory to life' replacing the need for participants to role-play on courses. Our actors are trained in coaching skills, giving effective feedback and questioning techniques and have worked with a wide range of Government departments, corporate and other public sector clients.
The types of interventions they offer include:
Forum Theatre: The group watches a scene tailored to a real situation from their workplace and then get to re-direct the action. It's an invaluable way to experience the changes in a relationship when the participants adapt their conversations and behaviour.
Demonstration of Theory: Our actors bring 'theory' to life. They will skilfully and realistically create scenarios that allow the group to experience theory in practice. Participants then practise how to deal with the situation themselves.
One to One interactions: This allows for an in depth practise with an actor/coach of a delegate's real-life challenging conversation with a staff member. They are able to stop-start the dialogue and get honest feedback from the 'other' person? It's an opportunity for some life changing 'light-bulb moments
