At Succeeder Solutions, we guide our students into a safe space where they can really learn. We call it the Training Compartment. According to Carl Jung (of Crosby Stills Nash and Jung), there are four parameters to consider when setting up the Training Compartment: environment, energy, content and decisionfulness.

Here is a check-list to help you when arranging the seminar room in a reasonably-priced, out-of-town chain hotel:

Environment: Are there nice green and orange sucky sweets in noisy wrappers?
Energy: Is the room at least half an hour’s walk from reception and the nearest toilets?
Content: Can it be summarised in 35 pages of closely-typed text, with some nice multi-coloured box-type things with 19 sub-boxes and arrows?
Decisionfulness: Will participants be thinking hard about which buffet lunch option to choose – or to strike out and head to the carvery?
