My bosses want me to holistically transition, should I?

An old employer sent me and a mate on a management training scheme. It was a day a month jolly down in London for a year. We had a different facilitator every month, and it was mostly just the usual managment shite - managing change, personality types and lots of other bullshit that we just nodded our way through. The second facilitator we had introduced herself as a past life regression therapist as her main job and it was at that point we just started sniggering and decided to just coast the rest of the course. Every month we'd get really stoned on flapjacks for breakfast and just nod our way through the drivel. We didn't even bother picking up our qualifications at the end
 
I think that means if you fall asleep in the class you'll still pass

Ive has acupuncture ‘therapy’ before - a lady stuck needles in my ears as I sat in a massive comfy chair then left me in a room with whale noises.

I fell asleep for an hour before they woke me up telling me the session had been a great success 🤷‍♂️

You woke up. I guess that was a win for them.

It's a nice hours kip. I'd see that as a win

lol.

It was actually pretty effective tbh, they did say many people go into a deep sleep which I did. I did go in quite sceptical but it was very good. I felt very relaxed after it.

I would say keep an open mind but the stuff mentioned in the OP sounds terrifyingly shit.

I've been known to go into a deep sleep at similar events. I remember being woken by my own snoring at a seminar in Dublin around 20 years ago. Monotone speakers tend to have that effect on me.
 
How's the holistic transitioning going tim?
We had an hour long zoom seminar during which I felt the floor with my feet and let the energy run through me. I then did a lot of listening to the kind of stuff in the site I linked to, in fact often word for word rhe stuff I read on the site.The practitioner then told us about his journey out of drugs. I wasn't to sure how relevant this was but it made ooze a little empathy. Fortunately, we didn't have to go into zoom rooms and reflect publicly about ourselves.

Even better news is that I'm now at least for the next two weeks back teaching. So tomorrow I get a little Zoom group of my own. I shall endeavour to be holistic and as touchy-feely as one can be given that my six students are spread over three continents.

What drugs was he on?
 
Glad it went ok tim although anecdotes of bad drugs are always worth hearing. Bit of a missed opportunity really.

It's onwards and upwards to the redundacy consultation, so I am eschewing negativity and inquisitiveness; and smiling Stepfordly in the hope of being one of the survivors.

Some hope!

Oh I don't know, it's not a bad strategy. You never know!
