Bodyswaps: Transforming Soft Skills
Historically, soft skills like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork were gained through practical experience, often limited by the availability and affordability of personal coaching or classroom-style instruction. However, virtual reality (VR) has redefined the landscape of storytelling, leveraging its immersive capabilities to deliver experiences unimaginable with traditional media. Arguably, VR as a storytelling medium is more powerful than anything that came before it. With it’s capacity for hyper-realistic roleplay scenarios, expansive training is achievable, scalable, and can cater to the mass market.
In the Future of Jobs Report 2023, The World Economic Forum listed 6 of the top 10 skills as the most important skills for the next ten years. So how do we make sure we’re skilled up on them?
Enter Bodyswaps. The award-winning leading provider of immersive AI simulations for education, healthcare, and enterprise - deeply human in its approach.
In this episode we speak to founder and CEO, Chris Mallet on his learning platform designed to transform behaviours for good.
Since leaving the world of social media strategy consultancy and founding the company in 2019, Bodyswaps has helped private organisations, public agencies and educational institutions all deliver measurable business value by building empathetic and inclusive cultures. They've built scenarios which create a safe and realistic space where learners can not only practise their soft skills, they also get AI enabled analytical feedback which optimises personal improvement. The platform demonstrates the untapped potential of immersive tech in cultivating a workforce that is both technologically adept whilst heightening emotional connections and deepening understanding.
Tune in to find out the incredible personal story that led to the creation of Bodyswaps via an improv class, a pub and Van Gogh painting, the challenges Chris has faced since creating the platform plus discussion around accessibility - it’s importance and how Bodyswaps is successfully navigating it.
We also discuss the future of personalised learning, how to work best with AI in the soft skills space (hint: it’s not a replacement for humans) plus the magic combination that is AI and VR.
