In fact, this lively pair are already available to Style Matters users. For free! They are a digital creation of Notebook LLM, a Google service at https://notebooklm.google/. Just login there with a Google account, upload your Style Matters score report in PDF, and generate a similar dialogue for yourself. It's all pre-configured - there's no setup, no learning curve, no fiddling with options.
After your Sources are uploaded, your dashboard offers numerous presentations based on them. See them below. Individual users will see only their own name here. However, to show the possibilities, in the view below, I've created a dashboard for a team for whom I want to create discussion resources. You can hear the audio conversation about these three here.
These are amazing resources for individual users, teams, and trainers!
Listening to two intelligent people who've carefully digested your Style Matters report talk about what they see is a great way to get your head around the contents. I'd still recommend studying the full written report, since the 10 minute conversation from Notebook only hits the highlights. But as a quick review of key insights from the report, it's a wonderful way to think things through.
Besides the Audio Summary you might find it useful to review these:1) Written summary of the score report.2) Study Guide with questions for consideration and suggested answers.3) FAQs and Table of Contents
The Chatbot at bottom of the page functions as a full-power AI prompt directed towards your Sources. You could use it, for example, to request a list of skills recommended for you to work on. After looking at the list, if you want to learn and practice a specific skill, you could tell the Chatbot: "Give me some examples of what it would look like for me to make 'I statements' (or whatever the suggested skill is)."
You could then go farther still and ask the Chatbot to create a simulation for you to practice the skill you're working on. "Set up a simulation so I can practice using 'I statements'".
It's a simple matter to upload two or more score reports to Notebook. If you then add one simple instruction, you instantly have a remarkably insightful guide for reflecting on interaction of these people. I have only done this with three score reports at a time and do not know the upper limits, but for three it worked fine. You can hear a sample of one here. To make your own:
1) Start with a fresh notebook that does not contain other uploads. (Notebook allows you to have multiple notebooks.)2) Upload the reports of the users involved. Upload each report as a separate Source.3) Add the following as a Source (not a Note). Copy it from below, paste it into the option for copy/paste text, and modify it to reflect the number of people in your situation and your needs.
These are three reports from 3 different people. Our main interest is to help them understand how to work more effectively with each other, based on the info in these reports. IMPORTANT: We want to help them understand ways they could trigger each other unintentionally and give them ideas on how to support and bring out the best in each other.
Now the Notebook is prepared to deliver a variety of useful resources. In addition to the Audio Summary, the Written Summary offers a nice summary of the three reports and how the users are likely to interact. The chatbot invites further questions and will give responses informed by the score reports. If you create one Audio Summary and then want to create a second one that incorporates new sources or score reports, you must first delete the previous one.
Ways to incorporate the above into coaching and consulting are obvious and need no elaboration. Don't miss out on using the Chatbot in the note to generate wonderfully useful additional learning resources tailored to yourself or people you're working with.
For example, you can instruct the bot: "Create three roleplay scenarios that would be useful in training this team." The bot will dutifully provide three scenarios ready for use. Better yet, specify scenarios around certain problem issues. Eg: "Generate three roleplay scenarios involving office desk arrangements for training this team." (Remember, of course, that using scenarios at a slight remove from live issues might make it easier for your users to relax and learn skills and avoid having their buttons pushed.)
