The Unbreakable
Let me start with a little story
In one of the most memorable exercises of all time, the leader asks a person to volunteer. The person needs to be a "certifiable" klutz, aka clumsy person.
Inadvertently the person always turns out to be a woman and a Ph.D.
In the first part of the exercise or demonstration, the leader throws a tennis ball to the volunteer which she either catches by trying too hard, or trying too hard and yet dropping the ball.
Everyone can see that she is a klutz.
After a while the leader says that they are going to play a different game. This time the volunteer doesn't have to catch the ball. Instead they need to observe the ball and tell the leader which way the ball was spinning. To make the spin more visible, the leader takes out a think marker and blackens the seams of the tennis ball.
The volunteer agrees. The first ball falls on the podium while she is showing with her fingers which way the ball was spinning. The second ball
