when not to run a course?

Go back to: General discussion

With 10 days to go I'm thinking of what to do if I don't get a minimum participation on the course ... or rather:

  • How do I define a minimum participation -- are there lessons learnt from earlier courses?
  • How do I politely announce that the course is not going to happen?
  • Or should/could I come up with a plan B ....

I would recommend setting the course up to run without a facilitator or seeking out participants to lead in your wake.

Otherwise you can postpone it and make a visible note on the course page when you expect you might return :-)

So I decided to start my course with 4 1/2 participants ... it's not so much the burden of facilitation I fear but the amount of exchange between participants that could be somehow disappointing... however, we'll see ;)
