“There is nothing wrong with you what’s right with you cannot fix”: Developing, strengthening and sustaining a solution focused mindset for everyday language and use as an expert of your life.

Thabisani Ncube

As Albert Einstein posits: “The world we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done so far, creates problems that we cannot solve at the level of thinking at which we have created the problems ….. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if we are to survive, and thrive …….” In my view this new manner of thinking is the Solution Focused Approach. In my view, the Solution Focused Approach, mindset and practice is this new manner of thinking that will create a climate of mutual respect, dialogue, inquiry and affirmation for more helpful futures. Hopefully through this presentation, I hope to enable a rich ecology of ideas, a flow of conversation and a network of never ending possibilities that will make a difference participants’ work and life.

Participants will learn and appreciate the disciplined mindset and skill required to keep solution focused learning and application simple for use in everyday life. A number of creative channels and exercises (story-telling and reflection, games, visualisations, etc) at a doing level together with the participants will be utilised to further develop, strengthen and understand the solution focused way of thinking and working.
