The teacher asked the six of us to introduce ourselves with a brief bio along with our reasons for attending the retreat.Apart from the stereotypes (emphasized from start to finish...the drill sergeant and preacher go at each other a lot, by irritatingly overdone design), anything else? No? I'll come back to that. Peppered throughout his parabolical tale, Hunter ... reveals...the obvious, cloaked in pseudo-wisdom ("The key then to leadership is accomplishing the tasks at hand while building relationships." - his italics) And then blather like "Our unconscious mind and the dreams it gives us has untold riches that we are only beginning to understand."
My roommate - Lee, the preacher - introduced himself first, followed by Greg, a young and rather cocky drill sergeant from the U.S. Army. Theresa, a Hispanic public school principal from downstate spoke next, and then Chris, a tall, attractive, black woman who coached women's basketball at Michigan State University. A woman named Kim introduced herself ahead of me and started telling us about herself but I wasn't listening. I was too busy thinking about what I would say about myself when it was my turn to speak.
