Imagine spending five days with people from ten different countries. They speak different languages, study different fields, and dream of different futures. Then you sit down with them at one table and start building a business that must hold up in front of an audience by the end of the week. No previous knowledge, no comfort zone.

We encounter some form of manipulation almost every day. Most of us manipulate unconsciously, and only 20 percent of people are pathological manipulators. Unfortunately, it is these disturbed personalities that you may meet at work or are part of your family.
