Council Spends £400,000 Teaching Staff To ‘Think Positively’ Using Paul McKenna Techniques
Posted by: Andrew Cheetham in Uncategorized‘Hundreds of county council staff are to be taught how to think positively using controversial psychological training techniques endorsed by TV hypnotist Paul McKenna.
A town hall is spending £1,000 a head to send 400 staff on a ‘leadership improvement programme’ in which workers will be taught to ‘adopt a successful mindset’.
The courses, for all grades of staff from manual workers to managers, include techniques used by celebrity hypnotist Paul McKenna.
The course involves a technique called ‘neuro-linguistic programming’, which was developed in the 1970s and which is supposed to bring psychological strength to those who receive it. Critics call the technique a fake and say its claims are dressed up to appear scientifically respectable. Suffolk’s spending priorities have attracted increasing local attention over the past few days.’
This Stinks of a Common Purpose scheme!
