Leadership Training, Role Playing, and Simulations | Audiogram
This issue of my newsletter is an audiogram and a slide deck.
You've seen audiograms before but may not have known what they are called. I'm going to show you how I made this audiogram as you may find this useful for delivering your training content in short and punchy segments.
I hope you may also find the content of the audiogram interesting, which is ...
Leadership Training With Game-Based Learning
The 2-minute audiogram below is a segment from a discussion I had with Simon Kardynal, CD, MA for his Trench Leadership Podcast.
We discuss how emerging leaders can gain experience using game-based learning.
Simon shares his experience in the military doing role-playing exercises and I explain why role-playing is an effective learning experience but falls short because training someone to make good decisions in the heat of the moment requires practice that includes hundreds or thousands of repetitions.
I describe it as "building the brain's muscle memory."
Listen to the audiogram below and then keep reading to find out how I made it with a few clicks.

How did I make the audiogram?
Consider how you can use audiograms to deliver your training programs in short, punchy sessions.
An audiogram is actually a video file where the visual elements are automatically generated from the words of the spoken audio. This video file can be shared just like any other video file on YouTube, LinkedIn, and other social media networks.
I created this audiogram using Descript — a unique video and audio editing program that automatically transcribes (converts audio to text) your source video and allows you to edit the video in text format, just like you edit a text document.
Here's what the editing interface looks like ...
With a few clicks, you can select and export any segment of your source audio file into an audiogram. It only takes a few minutes.
The audiogram I shared here is a small segment of a longer discussion — from which I can create many audiograms.
