Jane   I was wondering if they have told you dlirctey that they do not want to be part of an AL process?  Perhaps pre-preparing an agenda and leadership skills prior to a session indicate an eagerness to get on with the business?  Nonetheless, if I found myself in a similar situation I would be asking the team what they want to get out of Action Learning and then I would work with them to attain that.  If it is simply not to participate then perhaps it is not worth flogging a dead horse!  If participation is  mandated  within their organisation, then perhaps in your role as coach you can assist them to make the most of the opportunity   even if it ends up being something different to what the organisation had in mind.
