Reading aloud Kat Koppett – Training to image #2
by Alan Cyment
After having ran with Toby Mayer a most beautiful workshop called Improv skills for software developers, it’s time to pick up the book again. I love Augusto Boal’s work on power and oppression. And here comes the first quote of today’s reading aloud:
The privileged are often blind to their privileges
True for power, true for money.
If the status gap gets too big, people do not believe that leaders can empathize with them, so they do not feel safe.
Not much more to quote sadly. The set of games introduced in the book is too verbal for me. Besides, I’d learned them from somewhere else.
See you at my next book!

Hi Alan,
This is the first time I read your Blog, really interesting. I iked your selected quotes. There are so many times that I’m blind to all the privileges that I have, there are so many people leaving like slaves, without economical/social freedom. The ones with privilleges should open the eyes, and work/fight for the privileges the other dosen’t have. Regarding the leadership quote, I’m agree… Only the one who can serve, can lead.
Best regards to you and to Vero. Hope we can meet soon.
