When I took over my current position, I also inherited a few planned programs. “Planned” – meaning “on the calendar”, NOT “detailed in an agenda or lesson plan.” I certainly can’t fault my predecessor for that; I haven’t “plan” planned most of my programs ahead of time either.
One such program (about which I was very vocally excited on Facebook) was Zombie Survival Training. There’s sooooo much you could do with zombies as a topic – how could I narrow it down to fit in an hour and not drive myself crazy? Zombie snacks, zombie felties, zombie make-up… where could I stop??
A very wise colleague advised me to focus on the “survival” part of the title, rather than the “zombie” part, and to limit myself to about 4 activities.
