Should you be shrinking activities or reviews? Are you under pressure to achieve more in less time? Do your clients expect the outcomes you once offered in a five day programs to be achieved in only one or two days? Do you find yourself speaking quickly to fit more in are quicker to fill in silence and quicker to explain things in your own words when participants are slow to come up with the right answer. We need not be wonderful if we could slow things down, providing time for real reflection, providing time for discovery, exploration and experimentation. Even now, I feel in a rush because I have two more videos to record in the next hour.

And I need to balance great delivery with the thoughtful editing process. So don't skip my videos. I come to the point quickly but not too quickly. The requests for ideas for quick reviews are come from the more general need to speed things up and achieve more in less time. So you could respond to requests for quick review ideas by offering an activity shrinking service that reduces activity time and protects review time. Or you could make reviewing still active and stimulating that the distinction between activity and review starts to disappear.

So when you next find that you are short of time for the kind of review that you would like to offer, either advice, two courses of action one, go for the short term fix of finding a suitable review method to go for the long term fix of redesigning your programs in a way that shows a full understanding of the principles of experiential learning. experiential learning takes time, speed is not its selling point. And talking of selling points, you can charge more for experiential learning programs that you can for These only programs. If you're reviewing is too quick, the value of what you're providing starts to plummet. few clients would be dumb enough to accept that the five minute review entitles you to double your prices compared to the activities only provider down the road. Sometimes pressure for quick reviews, or even no reviews comes from participants.

But be careful and don't let this pressure create a vicious circle in which you're unable to persuade participants of the value of reviewing. Furthermore, do not persuade yourself that all participants will have activities and hate reviews because you would be wrong, sell them the reviewing process and they will happily engage in it. The challenge for program designers is to retain the right kind of balance so that participants value review as much as they value of activity
