Right. In the con "course" I was recruited into by a friend, they taught us how to create "trust and rapport". Huh?, I wondered. I did not know what that had to do with my purpose in being there. I was confused. Some of the modules sounded like sales techniques. I did not understand.
The "course" has evolved from one that was 3 (long) evenings and 2 FULL days for $500 to a 6 or 7 day "course" for $5,000!!!! And they call it a VACATION! HAHAHAHAHA! Well, maybe it is a vacation: a vacation from thinking for yourself and from thinking at all. A vacation from life as you know it, problem is you'll return with your personality and mind in a dis-integrated state. But, that's much less important than the purpose for which you were progammed: selling the course to everyone you know.
And the leadership garbage. The final "course" I took is called "21st Century Leadership" and, funny, but [i:87d44d3cc3]following[/i:87d44d3cc3] (the program) is what it's about. In presentations, we followed a script (taped to the back wall) that told us to say we were leaders!!!!!!! "My name is [ ] and I am a leader".
