As you obviously know, I facilitate alot of trainings. I am that guy you call when you want to change the behaviour of your staff to significantly drive up your profits.

I particularly love trainings that are more than 1 day as it helps me show the participants patterns in their behaviour. I recall day 2 of a particular training, I had to play the jury between 2 participants arguing intensely over seats.
—
I was returning from the gents when I heard loud voices ‘Why is she seating on MY seat?’, ‘Are there no other seats in class, why did she have to pick MINE’
—
Now these words were so familiar especially on day 2 but scarcely with this intensity. So I ran into class quickly to help address the matter.
—
Apparently, one lady came early on day 2 & decided to change her position BUT the acclaimed ‘owner’ of the seat was not having it.
—
So I simply took assailant’s phone on the table & slipped it in my pocket. She briskly turned and said ‘Sir thats MY phone’ & I replied ‘No its not’.
—
She looked gobsmacked like ‘world pipu wanna strip me of everything’.
—
As I walked away I said, ‘Well its in my custody today, so I’ll OWN it from tomorrow. Technically speaking, ‘its MINE’
