Learning Objectives

  • Discover how posture influences not only your chances of success, but also your physiological state
  • Follow a guided meditation to learn an effective mindfulness technique for reducing stress and anxiety
  • Develop a research-based self-counselling practice to quieten your ‘inner critic’ and break the cycle of nerves, negative thoughts and self-criticism

The Scenario

Whether you’re a first timer or a career veteran, job interviews can be immensely stressful.

It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous. But if interview jitters get in the way of showing off your true strengths and achievements, they could jeopardise your chances of success.

The good news is that we have some techniques you can use to remain cool, calm and collected when you walk through that interview room door.

Duration: 15 minutes (note: time varies depending on the learner's choices and interactions)

Learning Objectives

  • Discover a three-step strategy for preparing yourself for character-related questions in a job interview
  • Craft winning answers that are relevant, memorable and succinct
  • Practise your verbal and non-verbal communication skills when delivering responses in an interview

The Scenario

Giving a killer interview is like putting on a prize-winning performance. But unlike an actor, who has to portray someone else, you need to present yourself in a way that convinces your audience that you are the best candidate for the job.

But who are you? What makes you the best choice? And how do you communicate your qualities to your interviewers?

We’re about to find out.

Duration: 20-25 minutes (note: time varies depending on the learner's choices and interactions)

Learning Objectives

  • Practise analysing interview questions (including curve balls) to identify what the interviewer is looking for

  • Craft winning answers using the C.A.R. (Context, Action, Result) or S.T.A.R (Situation, Task, Action, Result) techniques
  • Practise your verbal and non-verbal communication skills when delivering responses in an interview

The Scenario

One of the scariest things about an interview is not knowing what questions the interviewer is going to throw at you.

Every career counsellor worth their salt will tell you how important it is to prepare for your interview by practising.. But if your strategy is to learn how to answer every question verbatim, you’re going to come unstuck.

The best approach is to master a technique that will help you to answer almost any question the interviewer can throw at you.

Learning Objectives

  • Understanding how different responses can diffuse or exacerbate anger
  • Identifying anger signals
  • Remaining calm in hostile situations
  • Responding with empathy to move the situation forward
  • Applying these techniques to different situations

Learning these techniques in 'the heat of the moment' can be difficult - and potentially dangerous. Our simulations provide a safe space in which to put the theory into practice and become more comfortable with the methods before using them in real life interactions with real people.

The Scenario

Handling angry patients and relatives is one of the greatest challenges healthcare practitioners face. As pressures on the NHS grow, staff are experiencing increasing levels of verbal abuse from the frustrated public. The emotional and physical cost of such encounters is high - not only for the doctor involved, but also for other patients, colleagues and family.

This immersive training is designed to build effective communication skills that will help, not only with emotionally charged patient interactions, but with personal relationships too.

This module will help to create an immunization-confident culture, encouraging the right conversations and maximizing immunization uptake. It also works towards improving patient safety by reinforcing Infection Prevention Control best practice.

Learning Outcome

Reduce the spread of preventable diseases by empowering healthcare staff to have effective conversations with parents on the topic of immunization.

Learning Objectives

  • Establish a culture that promotes immunization confidence
  • Open the conversation with a strong recommendation
  • Respond with empathy to concerns about immunization using motivational interviewing
  • Tailor their communication to different individuals and situations

Reducing the spread of infectious diseases is a priority for anyone working in healthcare, and immunization is a big part of that. But many pediatric staff lack the skills or confidence to talk about immunization in the right way with families.

Immunization hesitancy among parents and caregivers is common enough that many fear bringing the subject up at all, or worry about losing the family’s trust if they say the wrong thing.

Learners will practise their de-escalation techniques in a safe space, exploring the differing needs of two residents and supporting them to calm down.

Learning Outcome

Practise navigating situations where residents are exhibiting responsive expressions.

Learning Objectives

  • Detect signs of escalating responsive behaviours
  • Use verbal techniques to de-escalate the situation
  • Support the individual while keeping themselves and other residents safe

Frontline teams working in supportive care facilities face

challenging situations every day, including escalating

behaviour from residents. But these behaviours are more

often than not an expression of an unmet need – and many

staff lack the skills or confidence to work out what those

needs are and de-escalate the behaviour.

This module helps all those who work in supportive care facilities to more effectively deal with responsive behaviours.

Healthcare is a fast-paced and at times high-pressured working environment. Busy teams with constantly shifting priorities need to be ready to respond in whatever situations come their way. In conditions like these, approaching a situation in the wrong way can lead to negative consequences for other members of the team as well as for patients.

This module explores how organisational values scaffold behaviours and help staff to navigate these kind of difficult situations by clarifying what is expected of them and guiding collaboration towards shared aspirations.

Learning Objectives

Through this scenario, you will:

  • Experience the emotional impact that disruption has on a fictional customer
  • Practise maintaining control and de-escalating by ‘listening and responding’ rather than ‘reacting’ to an angry customer
  • Explore the positive and negative impacts that good and bad customer service can have on the customer’s emotions and experience

This module is part of our Customer Experience Training.

The Scenario

Disruption during travel can have wide-reaching effects on customers’ lives, affecting more than just their journey. Delays can keep customers from appointments and prevent them from honouring commitments, which can also affect their personal relationships.

This simulation shows you how to listen for customers’ emotional drivers in order to adapt your response to address particular concerns when delivering updates and information.
