Chris Majer has run the gamut, beginning with political radical and ending with innovative corporate trainer, with a stop along the way as adviser to the U.S. Army Special Forces. Indeed, the founder and CEO of The Human Potential Project has taken an unconventional path to success.

The Spokane resident and Lewis and Clark High School graduate said the social revolution of the late 1960s and early ’70s inspired him. As a militant anti-war protester, he wanted to change the world.

  The Spokesman-Review would be in better financial shape if it required Chris Majer pay for the advertising space that this article occupies. But, given the contents of today's paper, I'd say there's a full-court press for the Science Center underway — op-ed campaigning for the Science Center, advertisement/article promoting a motivational business run by a board member.

  I am 100% pro-science, but I'm also 100% pro-reality. The idea that Spokane will build a world-class science center is ludicrous. Talk about being “Bright-Sided” — http://www.barbaraehrenreich.com/brig… .The four theme areas for the Center are so all encompassing as to be meaningless. In a word, the Science Center will focus on… everything. That can only mean that there is at least one company that will be showcased for each theme and I can make an educated guess as to who they are. Kind of reminds me of the Weyerhaeuser visitors center at Mt. St. Helens. Whereas the park service talked about “trees,” Weyerhaeuser talked about “board feet.”

  From now until the hucksters fade away and city leaders come to their senses, the rest of us will be stuck with the massive opportunity cost of this ill-conceived venture.

  I'm with ya Zelda. There are a lot of pseudo crooks out there pushing the Science Center string and if they get their way we are all going to be penniless as Freddy the Freeloader.

  So this guy is so hot at leadership huh? So tell me what happened to AT&T after his “miracle” transformation. Its a putz of its former self.

  A lot of hogwash and these snake oil salesmen would do good just to read Deming. The sigman six is a miniscule non-working clone of Demings work.
