Techniques from the rehearsal room
People learn leadership the way actors learn a part: by doing it, seeing it from the other side, and doing it again.
Story circles
Short spoken stories, told and retold with feedback, until the structure becomes instinct.
Image theatre
The group builds a still picture of “where we are” and “where we want to be”, which becomes the spine of the story.
Rehearsal and feedback
Leaders deliver their real story to a live audience and refine it, as actors do in rehearsal.
When to choose it
Pulse survey signals this training addresses
If your employee survey scores are low on statements like these, this is a good place to start.
