Take more advanced steps in developing your ability to model. You need three people for this pattern: the Person Being Modeled, and two Modelers.

Step 1: Demonstrate the skill. #

Have the Person Being Modeled exhibit a simple skill that can be modeled, such as a dance step or cultural gesture.

Step 2: Model the skill. #

Have the Modelers enter a “not knowing” state from second position with A for a few minutes.

Step 3: Explain the internal state. #

Based on what they learned from being in the second position, the two modelers are to write down exactly what they suspect A is experiencing internally.

Step 4: Compare the results. #

Have the two Modelers compare and contrast their models.

Step 5: Work together to describe the skill’s specifics. #

Have all three parties collaborate to describe the key elements of the skill.

Step 6: Test. #

Over the coming weeks and months, discuss how well the participants have been coming along in learning to model and establish rapport.
