    Here’s how we might guide the team:
    1. Start by recognizing their need
    2. Gently remind them of the importance of the reflection phase
    3. Offer a solution that honors both their request and the process (For example: next 5 minutes for advancing the problem, and last 10 minutes for reflection)
    4. Engage the team to decide together

    This is my answer for this scenario as below:
    As an Action Learning Coach, I would like to use SID intervention model in this scenario.
    I will signal to check in for intervention and say “Hello team, I want to announce that we have 15 minutes left and the next part needs 10 minutes, the maximum time the team wants for this matter is 05 minutes. How does the team feel?”. This question helps the team realize exactly how much time the team has allocated (Situation).
    Then if the team still wants more time, I will continue with the question: “What will happen to the team if we continue to take more than 05 minutes?” (Impact).
    After the team realizes that the amount of time the team is using is not much left and only spends little time, I will ask the team the question to take action: “If we only have 05 minutes, what will our team do to be more effective?”. Then I will check out and invite the team to continue when the team has a solution for the scenario.
