Role-play


Role-play

Role-play should be used with care. When coachees hear this term there can be a variety of reactions , many of which are not positive! Sometimes we substitute the word practice for the term role-play as this is more acceptable and feels less threatening .

Role-play is a powerful tool since it gives the coachee the opportunity to practise the skills required in a given situation without the ˜dangers of being in the real world.

Guidelines for using role-play

Generally you will discuss using this technique with the coachee and talk about the advantages of it as a method to support his or her development.

After the role-play, ask the coachee how it felt and what he or she would do differently next time “ the review technique can be used effectively here.

You might want to consider getting the coachee to role-play with another person while you observe. If you choose this technique, the third party should be carefully selected and well-briefed.
