Sometimes when we want to motivate a friend to change their behavior we end up saying unhelpful things like ""it's time you do something with your life"". In this session, we discuss how making those kinds of mistakes in a virtual role-play experience with virtual humans can teach people not to make them in real life. We show examples of how games can get people to use effective communication techniques to change lives.

Speakers:
* Seth Bleecker (Instructional Designer, Kognito)
* Ron Goldman (Co-Founder & CEO, Kognito)
