I have often underestimated the importance of role-playing in interaction. While business leaders are role playing to predict markets and forecast growth, I realize it can be a useful tool in helping me face my opponent in a difficult siutation. I use the help of close friends and family simulating the situation and observing their reactions as I enact the conversation. I hone my actions and choose my words wisely. I have seen great results in the past. I am better prepared and composed. I know what I am going to say and how I am going to say it.
I am waiting to see how my next one goes. I have been role-playing for several days now.
