We did this exercise once at a “Team Building” Seminar for the office staff. It turned into a ‘pushing’ exercise – as the “trustee” fell backwards the people in the circle around them would “push” them back to vertical. Soon it was “how hard can we shove him?” and that expressed the exact level of trust in the office. Shove or be shoved.
We did this team builder too. We had a couple of coworkers who are built like Brandy and Jen. There were quite a few “volunteers” to catch them.
When it was one of the girl’s turn, she grabbed me and put me behind her, and the team organizer didn’t argue. She selected me to catch her, because she trusted me, and didn’t really trust the rest of them.
I thought to myself, it kind of defeated the purpose of the lesson, but understood why she did it.
I did notice that everybody else either envied or hated me.
Lightning struck twice when the other one did the exact same thing.

Is it my imagination, or is that sweater getting tighter?

Brandy might be a little too “top heavy” to play that game with them…
