This document proposes a new style of communications training that is personalized and gamified. The training would involve 3 levels that advance based on completing reflections and interactions. Level 1 involves personalizing the training and reflecting on communication traits. Level 2 involves choosing a boss for random interactions and reflections. Level 3 involves random interactions with coworkers and reflections. The goal is to engage students more, appeal to different learning styles, and stimulate deeper learning through self-reflections.

Editor's Notes
- #7 Narrative: "Although your interview with the supervisor went well, and you don’t anticipate any problems with the work, you don’t know anyone in the new group. You don’t even know the supervisor as the one that interviewed you has now moved on to another position.Perhaps this would be a good time to understand your own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to communication with others."
