Is role-playing too cringy for Gen Z?
Many say yes — especially traditional “perform in front of the group” style. But after decades of facilitating sessions, I believe the real issue isn’t role-playing itself. It’s how it’s done.
Early in my career, I created a public workshop on non-verbal communication. A seasoned professional told me I was “the worst speaker he had ever heard” and suggested I hire my replacement in my own show! He offered zero feedback and no chance to practice.
That harsh criticism could have ended my speaking journey. Instead, it fueled me.
