Ok, ok, bear with me here 
.Allen Baird and Rory O'Connor will be offering a personal development seminar in Belfast on the 17th October, but with a twist. Like a previous event that Allen has offered, the whole thing is steeped in metaphors related to the Star Wars movies, in order to put over some serious ideas in an accessible and fun way.
The event will explore lots of concepts like non violent communication, body language, assertiveness among others. I will be offering a slot at the end with a little aikido, to explain how it physically embodies some of the other concepts in resolving conflict with a minimum of force. And I'll be helping John Donaldson demonstrate some iaido, and finally we'll have some fun (I hope) with the lightsabers Allen and Rory are giving out to to the delegates as part of the package.
And then, we will go home and rethink our lives.
