I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

That course I did on the weekend was really good.
For months I have had different friends giving me input with regard to dealing with people and dealing with women.
About 7 months after the death of my Mom I went through a particularly hard period. That is when I had to delve a bit into psychology, and it was good. It did give me some new insights.
But my deeper problem is dealing in the difficult corporate environment with all its politics and enemies.
I must admit, this 2 day course has excited me. I needed a tool set – a tool kit, to use with people, and to approach people in the right way.
Truly, from the moment I walked in to work on monday, after an exceptionally annoying friday, I was simply stunned at how my relations with almost everyone I was running in to blossomed.
I had learned something about verbal and non-verbal communication and also I merged the things I had learned with previous advice from friends. On friday I had left work, ready to commit murder. Mondays, which are normally rotten, was just staggering.
It seems to me as if my various exercises over the months have laid a good groundwork, and today when I started practising it, instead of having problems, I found instantly, things actually working very well.
I am still ready and waiting for problems for when they occur because that is what I want to solve, and I want to crack the difficult things with co-workers, with management, etc.
But there is something about that course, that brought everything else I learned together, and finally I have a full frame of reference that I understand, can analyse and can just use.
I even emailed businesspeople in the organisation asking them for courses, especially to do with selling. I think I now want to get some kind of training in selling – face to face – because that has always been my weakest skill. It is also probably one of the most difficult skills in life that one can learn. I might ask a friend of mine to train me in this since she is EXCELLENT when it comes to selling.
There is just something about all this that seems to finally be “clicking” with me.
One senior manager (a woman who in her day must have been an absolute “10” most of her life and who occupied a high rank), replied to me saying I am too hard on myself and inviting me to coffee for a chat.
Its been a really awesome day. I think I am developing a self-confidence that I’ve never had before, and I am learning to deal with people.
The hardest part lies ahead. Not each day will go so well, but I am certain that just a few things I have done, and just a different demeanour in me is resulting in something already… even just on this first day.
Let’s see how things go.
But yesterday, at the course, I chewed out, in front of 2 psychologists, and Afrikaner who is a casino manager and used to having a high rank. He made a derogatory comment about me while ass-kissing the lecturer – and I unleashed all hell on him. A friend of mine of 23 years who was there, said he had never seen me so angry. I put that guy in his place and I think when he waslked out there his skin colour had changed.
I smiled because a black guy who works in psychology in a major univesity wanted my contact details as did a very lovely married woman, a Portguese psychologist. The two of us had hit it off during the course tremendously. We just seemed to be drawn to each other and agreeing on all sorts of things.
So clearly, despite my fury earlier, people had no problem with me. My friend whispered saying that the Afrikaner seemed to be needy and insecure in some way and that was why he was kissing ass with the lecturer, whereas I challenged both him and the lecturer. A black woman on the course admitted that I had really scared her. And my friend of 23 years said that even he was getting a little worried when I laid into this other guy.
We smiled… and I smiled… and when I smile, and am cordial, or nice, you still see the Wolf’s fangs sticking out. The wolf is still a wolf, except he is just more cunning and confident now and he will only bare his fangs when he really needs to. But the bite… is still as sharp as ever… when the situation demands it.
Oh yeah… this is Psychology… WITH TEETH!
