A Weird Way To Nail Difficult Conversations At Work

This quote is the premise behind Nathan Fielder’s HBO show “The Rehearsal,” where he helps individuals through difficult conversations or situations by having them rehearse over and over in settings that <a href="https://youtu.be/pQRKDBpZ_5g?t=674" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">he constructs to mimic the real world</a>. It’s a bit out there, but builds on how much of a positive effect role-playing a scenario can have on the desired outcome. Unfortunately, we can’t have Nathan Fielder in our pocket for our day-to-day conversations. If you’re preparing for a difficult conversation, you can think through it hundreds of times, but the moment you say it out loud it becomes real. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve started giving feedback and have cringed at how something came out. Over the years I’ve started role-playing conversations on both sides and it helped quite a bit. It’s simple, only takes a few minutes, but can save you a lot of mental pain. Does it feel awkward and weird the first few times? Absolutely. Does it make the real conversation easier? Absolutely. Here are some easy ways to get started. <h1>Choosing A Role-Play Partner</h1> Peers, managers, spouses, kids, your pet, the other individual doesn’t matter so much, but it should be someone that is unbiased and removed from the situation you are trying to resolve. Don’t give them their own script and don’t try to get them to respond a certain way. Let them live as the other party and see how things go. Giving them this freedom creates more spontaneity and leaves you less likely to know how they will respond.
