There was about 10 minutes worth of content in the Next Step that was even vaguely useful. It was delivered via a video so not actual requirement to be in the room for it.
After one of the initial videos introducing the bloke from the USA and the success at the bank that introduced the strategies one of our guys piped up and asked ‘didn’t that bank go bust because the executive were all crooked’? Apparently the silence in the room afterward was something to behold. Just wish I could remember the name of the spruiker and the bank!
I attended Next Step with a 747 skipper six days out from retirement. He gave them all a pretty spectacular serve ending with “I couldn’t hate you f&#$ckers more”. I wish I had filmed it, and their reaction. It was magnificent.
