Shibari Boot Camp

If someone asked me to define the life of a business executive, I would synthesize it in one word: crap. You have to deal with crap every day. Also, you have to try not to increase the amount of crap that the market, the government, and the competition throw at you every single day. And one of the biggest craps you have to deal with is the incompetence of the executive staff. You take those people, you train them, you give them a nice office and a juicy salary. And then? All they do is fumble play after play, and make you lose tons of money. That’s why I came up with the idea of the Shibari boot camp.

I’ve been practicing Shibari for I don’t know how many years. It’s one of the greatest antidotes against the crap of life. I like the discipline of it, and the need for strategy. You have a goal and some resources, and you have to visualize what you’re gonna do and then do it right. For me, that sums up what life is about.

So, on a particularly crappy day, I decided that all my executive staff, men and women, young and old, needed the vision, discipline, and strategy that only Shibari can provide. In a couple of hours, I had organized everything, and that very weekend, we all got in a bus and left for our first Shibari Boot Camp in a large studio.

I guess it worked because the feedback from the executives was very enthusiastic. Men liked taking off their suits and doing something more physical than anything they had done in years. Women enjoyed playing top as well as bottom, and understanding the power dynamic of a scene, which is the same power dynamic you find in a business relation.

And the company results are less crappy than usual.

This is my Shibari story.
