Despite feeling dancer, I still went to company S with my colleague (also S, not to be confused with company S), and did a training there. And then, as we arrived and I started the introduction, it turned out that no, they wanted to know about the OTHER thing that we had hardly prepared. Figures.
S and I scrambled to get something together, but the training became a bit of a mess because of it. Also, the group itself was being extremely willful, didn’t understand anything, didn’t seem to *want* understand anything, and my colleague (who was somewhat more of a tech expert on this part), became increasingly flustered. We had to act. So I sent everyone on break, told S not to panic (she was also feeling dancer, poor girl) and we chalked down the outline of the project on a chalkboard and how exactly to use the software, to create some oversight.
And when everyone came back, the light in their eyes went on, we discussed the project and the tech and how to utilize them, and let them play with the manual by trying out the tech. And eventually everyone went home happy. Well…. yay. But that was not what we came for. Still, it was something that needed to be done, and I’m damn proud on how S and I weathered the storm and took back control when all seemed lost.
Boss G was pleased too.
I wonder, however, how we’re going to get company S back in line again. How to take away that willfulness and the aversion to change?
Well, welcome in the wonderful world of change management 
ok, there’s been a bit of demand on elaboration on the ‘feeling dancer’ thing: it’s been used in our circle of friends for a while now. It’s taken from this song with horrid lyrics (oh Killers, what happened to you?), and a funny on this website containing the lyrics, we now refer to having a hangover (or feeling decidedly crappy in the morning) as ‘not feeling human, but feeling dancer’. I know. It’s one of those ‘you should have been there’ jokes 
Please elaborate
