Episode 424 — Why emotions make simulations so powerful
When your team are faced with a crisis, you want them to be prepared. But how do you build those capabilities when crises are rare, and you hope they never occur?
In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner and Owen explore the use of simulations to build capability. We’re joined by Chris Peschanel, who ran crisis management at Bayer Pharmaceuticals for 12 years, and by Phil Willcox from St8 of Play.
We discuss:
- why simulations are the best approach for developing real-world skills in crisis management
- the role that emotions play in making these learning experiences memorable
- what a simulation sounds like in practice and how to create your own.
