Seeing things differently

As a trainer you need to see and experience other stuff. How will you understand participants who are not like you? I recently read the book “Ways of Seeing” by John Berger. It’s about how to view art in this case painting. I don’t know anything about painting. Great book. I learnt things that I didn’t know or hadn’t even thought of. It was written back in 1972. Here is the final passage.

Capitalism survives by forcing the majority, whom it exploits. to define their own interests as narrowly as possible. This was once achieved by extensive deprivation. Today in the developed countries it is being achieved by imposing a false standard of what is and what is not desirable.

It is an interesting comment and worth thinking about in our mixed up world. As a trainer broaden your knowledge and horizons.
