9 staffers hurt in firewalk

意國拓展玩'赤腳趟炭火'

A "motivation day" organized by one of Italy's biggest real estate agencies has ended in tears and injuries when 9 staffers had to be treated in a hospital after walking barefoot on a bed of hot coals. Alessandro, a motivational trainer, said that the wrong kind of wood and some artificial coal had been used in the training. "I have done this job for 12 years with thousands of people and never had a problem. Firewalking helps people overcome their fears, seek new challenges and understand that most of what they see as their limits are self-inflicted," Alessandro said.

意大利最大的房地產公司近日組織了一次"激勵日"拓展訓練活動，讓員工光腳走過用剛燃燒過的炭火鋪成的小路。結果9名員工受傷被送往醫(yī)院。拓展訓練員亞歷山大表示，造成這次訓練以眼淚收場的原因是使用的木頭和"假炭火"出現(xiàn)了問題。亞歷山大說："我做這個12年了，數(shù)千人做過同樣的訓練，從來沒有出過事。'赤腳過炭火'活動是為了幫助人們克服恐懼，尋求新的挑戰(zhàn)，并且讓他們明白，很多他們認為阻礙他們成長的因素都是庸人自擾。"
