Re-entry to back home environment

Gestalt OSD Center Staff — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 18:31:29 +0000

Written by John this short lecture was presented thousands of times by John and was the final presentation in every Touche Ross Managing People Workshop for Seventeen years and the Bell Atlantic Black Managers Workshop for approximately twenty years. The basic learning about re-entry into one's significant other relationship have remained relevant from the time of their creation to today. The steps in the re entry lecture were originally developed from discussions in the Mickey Mouse Club, a group of Case Western Reserve doctorate students who were trying to understand why their re entry into their most significant other relationships often failed when they returned home for very productive and exciting personal and professional growth experiences. There is an audio tape of John giving presenting the Re-entry lecture available under audio tapes on this web site.
