The camp was akin to a cult meeting, players probed for their past fears etc, a comedian brought in to probe players reactions by dressing up in different costumes. The Crows head Doctor wasnt even made aware of what was going to happen and none of the CMT leaders even had a degree in Psychology. That whole Collective Mind Training group should have been facing legal action, one player I believe collapsed and had to be taken away from the camp and was very unwell.
Dont know how anyone rates Don Pyke as a coach and I wouldnt want him anywhere near my football club and the same goes for Walker and Sloane who wouldnt admit how bad things were and I would have sacked them both as leaders on the spot.
We had team building/ bonding training companies try and build bonds with the Engineering staff and management at my previous employer and it was a complete waste of time, about the only satisfaction I got out of out it was flogging the leadership/admin staff in exercises such as building towers out of matchsticks and showing how hopeless they were at any sort of strategy exercises.
10k a day for 5 days was what that training group made out of that BS, it was all filmed on camera in these Uni training labs and critiqued by the training group mods who were teachers I believe with a big Review session that ended up in chaos creating more issues than solutions.
Company management often leaves a bit to desired EB. They fall for the fancy BS advertising by these so called leadership consultants who wouldn't know leadership if it was up them. These companies dream up the BS strategies and systems all based on supposed points of difference to their competitors. They are all nutters if you ask me, its the leaders of the companies that should be delivering the training. Ill lay London to a brick that Brian Cook would eat these sessions for breakfast, he has probably forgotten more about culture and leadership than these cretins will ever know.
