This book shows you how to focus on solutions and not problems
Mark and Paul's work has stood the test of time - because it works!
The world has never needed rapid change for the better more than it does now; for anyone looking for solutions to the problems that surround us, this book is a great place to start.
The Solutions Focus has been a constant go-to resource for me. This third edition is packed with new ideas, approaches, and techniques to add to my coaching toolbox.
It's easy to spend hours discussing what went wrong and who is to blame. A much more practical way of looking at teams and organizations is to see what's working well and do more of that. From that simple premise, this brilliant book, far from sombre in tone and packed with many case studies showing the worth of this approach, will make you see things differently. Its insights and applications will mean you will return to it again and again.
Asking the Miracle Question opened us to a breakthrough that changed our business.
A must read for anyone who wants to create change with more speed, more elegance, more use of existing resources, and much more engagement.
A masterclass in practical, solution-oriented strategies.
In this book about coaching, I think the authors take the readers on a journey that is sure to impact the way they view the work they are doing with clients, and even themselves.
All good coaches focus on potential, affirmation, and solutions. This book is a must. It is simple, easy to read, and filled with illustrative examples.
