When you tune into entertainment award shows, you’ll notice actors gushing about fellow cast members. This high praise comes from working on complicated projects with looming deadlines.
David performed in Otherwise Engaged at the Berkeley Rep. The cast was inspired by an intelligent script, so they worked together to create backstories—giving depth to the characters’ relationships and get the English accents just right. This made the cast feel like it was their play, and was reflected in their performances.
We see the same process in our immersive trainings with small groups. Recently, the senior management at Great Parks in Cincinnati cheered each other on, gave insightful feedback, and motivated one another to improve, which they did—rapidly.
It takes courage to learn new techniques. This is why we give comments and instruction in real time, so participants can make adjustments and immediately improve. Jump into your next training with abandon, and focus on your development, as well as making your teammates better. And when you listen to them present, be the friendly face in the audience. A rising tide lifts all boats.
