Thanks for your comments JS - M&S declined to comment on the contents of the motivation programme - which provides food for thought itself. Are you from M&S? I'm sure our members would be interested in hearing your side of the story.
Juliet - thanks for your comments. The HR Practitioner's Diary is very popular - our members don't always respond to articles by posting on the website. In fact I've had a lot of positive feedback of late about it but I'm happy for you to start the ball rolling, it just takes one!
As for Sue's use of 'word replacements' well I think it's rather cunning - she protects her clients identities by using soap characters from Eastenders or Dallas for example so a bit of 'frogs' and 'birds' in this context is just part of her style.
Nothing was more glamourous and alluring then the world depicted in Dynasty - you remember the soap opera depicting the lives of Denver's oil tycoons, their wives, estranged partners and various lovers. As a child I could imagine nothing better than usurping Crystal Carrington's part and throwing on her huge earrings and evening gowns (!) ....
It just has to be him - he is an absolute legend, he has ridden the rollercoaster of fame and fortune - his life experiences could keep any housemate amused for the duration - not to mention the apres footie stories too!
I heard on the radio last night that Sir Digby Jones, head of the CBI, said that most members of the employers' body did not want to be associated with the programme. Apparently they said that it had nothing to do with modern business and puts it in a bad light - have they no sense of fun? Do they not realize this was a reality TV show? I mean sure there was the 'blood-thirsty' aggressive nature about it but in actual fact I do believe this is part and parcel of the world of work - for businesses to succeed there needs to be an element of dog-eat-dog competition - I'd like to hear what others think
