There are FOUR kinds of participants.

• There are PRISONERS, who are there against their will

(usually) because their boss told them to show up.
• There are VACATIONERS, who are there because
training is like having time off from work - they are
relaxed and (hopefully) refreshed and renewed as a
result of their attendance.
• There are CONSUMERS, who are trainees who have a
specific learning agenda ("really want to learn how to
coach my subordinates"), and
• There are ADVENTURERS, who are like Consumers
without a narrow, specific agenda.
