Internal/External Controls:

The purpose of this role-play is to familiarize staff with internal and external controls in their own life. Separate the group into teams of two. The first person should talk about (or make up) a personal change that they want to make (and that they are comfortable discussing). The second person should play the interviewer and the first is the interviewee. The interviewer should ask questions about the issue (e.g., How have you gone about changing this behavior? What obstacles have you faced in changing? Why do you keep trying to change this behavior, why is it important to you?). Give the group 5-10 minutes to discuss the issue and then have them switch roles and repeat the discussion. Report what they learned about themselves and their colleagues.
