As I recall - he and Connie Booth had a company called Video Arts and you - (as a business) could rent their training films for sessions - lots to choose from, customer care, meetings etc. When I worked at the Hotel Russell out Personnel Manager (as they were called in those days) was obsessed with them.

In one group session we were asked to share things that really pissed us off and one particularly dry New Zealander said: "I get pissed off when my employer forces me to spend hours on pointless training courses that have absolutely nothing to do with the way I do my job".
