If these questions are included in what you cannot answer due to the legal restraints, I understand. I am stunned that landmark would actually place a legal restriction on what a person can or cannot pursue as a career!
Its pretty much anything that is in direct competition with Landmark. The loose way they worded it could technically mean that any training/teaching is out but I doubt they would sue if I ever went back to teaching which is what I did before going to landmark.

Hmm Sonnie-dee, that sounds even worse then when I was involved. "The Listenings" were before you were with Landmark, maybe what you describe was a result of that. It was a time were the languaging was changing for sure.
I've read about changing the language around enrollement. Well I can tell you, they've been working on it for years to make the enrollment-thing look less pressurefull. As discussed on this forum, I don't know if it's this thread, it looks like more talk - the pressure is still there.
My legal bounderies are not as strict as yours, then again I wasn't on staff. I know you had a lawyer look at it, but you do know you only have to comply to the rules of your own country?
I suspect a lot of changes have happened. The first forum I took was a lot different from the last one I reviewed. (of course the last one I reviewed I was told I was avoiding everything because I got the flu on day one)
prior to 1999 my legal agreements were very similar to a particpants you know the "I will not disclose the technology yada yada yada". After that we were given some pretty heavy legal agreements. Different ones depending on what country you were in and whether you were staff or a seminar leader.
Virtually every staff conference I attended there was another agreement/contract to sign.
In terms of the pressure and language, you are right it is still very much there, now it is just hidden below flowery language. and they spend a lot more time getting every ones "enrolment conversations" so they are perfect.
To be honest I would not be surprised if many people actually "enhance" the truth with a little extra just to make it to landmarks liking.
The pressure also comes from the fact that the leaders and introduction leaders and even the Introduction leader programme particpants are all frantically trying to meet their statistics.
To be unsucessfull leads to coaching which no body really wants even though every one claims they do!
