I Woke Up in a Strange Man's Bed

Feb 21, 2018

Years ago in Sydney, I woke up in the bed of a strange man.

It's not what you are thinking - it was the strange man's bed, not the strange man, that I woke up with.

He was sleeping in my bed in another country.

And here I was with my wife and two daughters, living in his home, driving his car, sleeping in his bed, using his bathroom – and I did not even know what his face looked like.

I only found that out when I woke up, looked across the room, and saw him in a photo with his wife on their wedding day.

How could this be possible?

We were doing a home exchange.

He was sleeping in my bed in Kyoto. He was driving my car. He was looking at my wedding photos. We trusted each other because both of us were made vulnerable by the other's actions.

I think it's the same in a workshop.

We are both made vulnerable.

You stand before the group, and you are on trial. You need to deliver. In corporations, it is certainly true. People - many of them - are there with mild curiosity at best, and a ready-to-spray scepticism at worst.

One teacher - who works a lot in corporations - uses a shock technique. Opens the seminar by saying:

"Girls, never let your nipples show."

WHAT?!

The men chuckle, the woman cackle and she finishes her story in a reasonable way.

She has their attention. Can she keep it?

I will finish that story in London, and tell you a lot more. You need a bag of tricks and a set of principles to use them.

Take a look again at my page on the London workshop. I updated it last night, and you can learn even if you don't attend. Scroll, look at the list, and ask your Self:

Are you ready?

If not, come along.
