I was talking the other day with a fellow trainer about his move from corporation to a solo trainer job. He expressed his satisfaction about getting rid of what he called “employee brainwashing” tactics of his former corporations which he admitted he’s not supposed to talk about during his training. Even more, he confessed to be actually giving his hand to such brainwashing during the trainings he delivers.

This offered me some opportunity to reflect on the topic. First of all if the corporation has such kind of strategy I think is a losing one. The best (and happiest too) employees that I happened to meet were employees who resisted pretty well such pressures and were proud of holding their own spirit and thinking to their own enjoyment and company benefit.

Secondly, I believe is not the corporation who actually encourage the brainwashing culture but rather managers too keen to hold their status on the expense of others.

And lastly, why in the world should I preach something which, once in my life, I dismayed.
