In a training, such terms are usually explained orally. And there is a value to the term; it helps cool down people who are indignant that their issue didn\'t get addressed, allowing them to think of their issue as a car nicely parked and just waiting to blast out at the proper time. The technique is used in elementary school, but it is called journaling.

ASK THE SO-CALLED TRAINER!!!!
Sorry to be so blunt, byt this type of thing drives me mad. The ONLY translation for "Parking Lot" is "parking" and you can tell your trainer that from me! I get so furious at these people who try to be so sophisticated when writing. It's their way of trying to feel "superior" to anyone who asks "What does this mean here?" Their answer is normally "Oh! Don't you know?" When the problem is theirs. They have no other way to feel "superior". (Show him my message if you like). WOW!!!
By the way, it probably means a place for taking notes.

I must disagree with you, Ruth, even if it is a "thang". When you give something to bre translated, it MUST be at least comprehensive and not only in Texas.

Just keep it simple, parking indicates some sort of pause or end. If they give you space to take down notes, my guess is it’s because that’s “all they have to say about that” (to quote the great Forest Gump!)
