Change-Of-Pace Day

Since this is Hump Day, I felt a change of pace from the usual posts was in order.

Many will recall that Prince Harry and Meagan moved to the United States to get away from the relentless (so they said) British paparazzi. They also 'stepped back' from their royal duties, which means that they no longer have an assured income source. 

So what are hapless erstwhile royals to do for coin? Well, one of the sources seems to be Harry's motivational 'skills' as evidenced by his employment with Better Up, of which he is 'Chief Impact Officer'. (I merely report these things; I can't explain them.) Apparently, it is an organization that provides a coaching experience aligned to your business strategy. It also provides this 'opportunity' to individuals as well, all for about $500 U.S. per month.

Watching the video that follows reminded me of all the platitudinous garbage I was exposed to over the years on professional development days, not one of which ever made me a better teacher or human being. And yet there always seems to be an audience for the next big thing in personal and professional growth.

All I can say is that Harry picked the right country to reside in. Americans always seem to be on a quest for 'betterment', although judging by the results, they have a long way to go.

Please start the following at the eight-minute mark:

  1. Harry has been conned, Lorne. However, given the tenor of things these days, perhaps that's not surprising.

    1. I guess PM Boris would say that's all part of the British "can-do" attitude, Mound.
