My company is sending me on a "Leadership Training Program" in a couple of weeks. When I heard about it I have to admit that at first it sounded kind of cool. "All right" I thought, "Time for the big leagues." I pictured myself being tutored in the business Bushido of Micheal Douglas in Wall Street. Learning how to strategize and scheme in order to destroy my enemies and earn big cash bonuses. I thought at the minimum I should get to dress up in a Kendo outfit and wack people with bamboo swords...

I should have known better.

When I received a homework assignment for the seminar I found out that this was going to be more of a "leading me towards getting in touch with my feelings and thus becoming a better employee and person" type seminar rather than the "leading the way in gutting opponents" type class I'd prefer.

For this assignment I'm supposed to describe verbatim a conversation where I felt I handled it badly or was very difficult.

My problem:
I can't think of any examples. Not one. It seems that as an unintended result of my practice of mentally dominating everyone around me that there isn't one instance where I didn't just come out on top as usual.

At least that's what I told my boss who just encouraged me to make it up anyway.

Maybe I'll talk about the time I ratted my boss out...
