Is your organization too old-fashioned to try serious gaming? The training and development team of a nuclear engineering design firm introduced two immersive learning experiences to their top-tier leadership development program, and the results were immediate. Hear how participants practiced negotiation and communication skills in the safe environment of a serious game. Then hear how the training team took the concepts practiced in the game and designed a live simulation based on real company challenges. When participants have multiple opportunities to practice and synthesize leadership skills in safe spaces---in this case, virtual and live---they will be more likely to employ these behaviors confidently in real-life situations. This session was recorded at the ATD 2019 TechKnowledge conference in West Palm Beach, Florida.
