With the Solution Focus approach, we accompany the coachee in a constructive exploration of the past to detect all the contributors to WHAT WORKED, analyse all positive deviances, learn from that, and use them as a resource for the future.
Do you know all everything you have available to move forward? Solution Focus is about discovering all available resources towards the coaching goal. These resources may be internal like qualities, skills, past experience and/or external like mentors, friends, material resources. Surprisingly, we often overlook what we have because we are focused on what we are missing. Yet, building change is based on existing qualities, rather than on the gaps, because these are empty.
How much do we really know the what we want? How can we recognise it when it starts happening? Perhaps this sounds obvious to some, but often we spend a lot of time on analysing the what we don't want rather than the what we want. With Solution Focus coaching questions it is about becoming experts in the solution rather than the problem. It is about designing a Desired future for ourselves, with lots of detail about what we do differently and how this is noticed by others. Having this clearly defined picture helps us move towards it.
A next step towards change is often the obvious thing to do but somehow does not happen that easily. Our job as Solution Focused coaches is to bring awareness to the coachee of the small signs of progress and how these will be noticed. Knowing what progress looks like makes it actionable.
