What's the Problem?

INTRODUCING SOLUTION FOCUS

Syllabus

 

Course Description

This course is designed for participants who desire learning how to use powerful solution-focused strategies for helping individuals (or yourselves) move out of the quagmire of problems quickly and effectively. This approach is useful for a wide range of problems and with most age groups. Regardless of your role, you will learn practical skills for transforming problems into solutions. Filled with examples and illustrations, this course will address the role of the all important “miracle” questions as well as exceptions, scaling, and coping questions. Active listening, a key solution focus skill is reviewed extensively and other useful skills explained. In addition, participants will appreciate the value of well-formed goals and the functions of the philosophical statement “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” This modern approach to problem solving is exciting and effective. If you really want to learn a new way to conquer problems, then get ready for a great awakening!

 

Course Goals

At the end of this course, students will:

(1) Have an understanding of the solution focused approach to problems.
(2) Recognize the limitations of traditional problem solving approaches.
(3) Be familiar with the various questions used in Solution Focus to identify leverage points for change.
(4) Get a sense of Solution Focus' impact on the psycho-social disciplines in the 21st century.

This refresher course has been kept simple and concise. It avoids as much incidental information as possible while being careful to adequately cover the various elements of the subject. It is my hope that ravenous students who complete this refresher course will be inspired to capitalize on what was learned by continuing on with their quest for knowledge. Love and peace, Saundra.
