A few months ago I recorded an episode of the Stories Lived. Stories Told. podcast hosted by Abbie VanMeter. Abbie was an excellent host, who made the experience very straightforward and the kept the conversation flowing. We talked about D&D in the context of leadership and communication. Heres the official blurb:
How do games like Dungeons and Dragons enable us to practice a CMM-informed way of relating, participating, and communicating?
…
Today, Abbie and Tom explore Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) as a powerful practice and metaphor for developing more relational, emergent, and collaborative ways of being and leading, touching on the value of experiental learning in scenarios our brains will remember as real; the need (both in game and out) to coordinate across different meanings being made in each of our own imaginations; and the opportunity to transform and be transformed by collective storytelling and world building.
I had a great time recording the episode and we covered a lot of ground. You can find it by following the links below:
