The training manager was taking part and at the first coffee break he came up to me and said \u201c<strong>They say it\u2019s going well, but it\u2019s a bit slow!<\/strong>\u201d. \u201cThank you for the feedback\u201d I said and when we restarted the workshop, I mentioned \u201cI have had some welcome feedback from your training manager. He tells me that it is going well, but it\u2019s a bit slow!\u201d \u201cYes, yes\u201d said the managers. \u201cOk\u201d I replied, \u201c<strong>That\u2019s good, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s slow enough!<\/strong>\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There was silence in the room and then I explained, \u201cYou live your working lives in the fast lane, rushing from one meeting to the next, making decisions, lunch on the run, starting early and finishing late. Mentoring is about slowing down, about reflection, thinking space, so, I\u2019m going to slow you down some more!\u201d Fortunately, they went with it \u2014 the workshop provided space and time to explore ideas in depth, develop view points and consider how they may enact the mentoring process. At the end, several came up to me and said \u201cthank you for slowing me down!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at any adult learning theory, the word \u2018<a href=\"\/mentoring\/?q=reflection\">reflection<\/a>\u2019 appears in practically all of them! Reflection is an essential element of learning. It enables people to critically assess, develop their understanding, see alternative perspectives and come to conclusions. Very recent research (Nadeem and Garvey, 2019), among middle leaders in a university, found that to reflect well, space, time and calmness is needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Lumel time. Slowdown and luxuriate!<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2488\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Slowdown-and-luxuriate-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"Slowdown and luxuriate\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Slowdown-and-luxuriate-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Slowdown-and-luxuriate-768x500.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Slowdown-and-luxuriate-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Slowdown-and-luxuriate-461x300.jpg 461w, https:\/\/www.coachmentoring.co.uk\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Slowdown-and-luxuriate.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>In the Netherlands, there is an expression which sums up the concept of slowing down \u2014 it\u2019s \u2018lumel time\u2019. Lumel time directly translates as \u2018luxury\u2019 time so it is more than slowing down, it is also about relaxing and playfulness; luxuriate yourself! Playfulness or luxuriating oneself is not something we may associate with work, but it is part of learning, of creativity and ultimately, innovation.<\/p>\n<h2>In Praise of Slowness<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/mentoring\/\">Mentoring<\/a> can provide the time and space for people to slowdown, reflect and think new thoughts. It is not just a \u2018nice to have\u2019 or indeed, a luxury. It is an essential element of learning and if we don\u2019t learn at work, how can we progress and develop what we do? Mentoring offers a learning opportunity plus an opportunity to slowdown!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s to slowing down!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Reference<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Nadeem, I, and Garvey, B.
