• Ask the participants to stand facing the wall at an arms length. Now, ask
them to close their eyes & push the wall with full strength.

to keep pushing the wall with all their strength.

that the wall is actually moving.

eyes. Once the participants are back to their respective seats, the trainer
now takes the feedback – whether the wall has actually moved or not.

participants to the importance of focusing on the Areas of Influence.
