Solution Finding Stimulus Having a system allows success to become obvious
In moments of confusion and stress, with work and family, having a system to follow is useful.

I was interviewed by Alan Kay on how to apply solution focus sustainably in organizations.
Big changes rarely happen instantly. While you are involved in the change your perception is an insider and the change may not even be noticed. This is when a focus on ‘what is working well?’ can be useful.
Involving people in the plan will ensure greater buy-in and successful implementation. Sharing neccessary information will keep the plan within the guidelines established. Treat people like adults and if they are wrong, the plan can quickly be adjusted and everyone learns from the challenge.
Sometimes focusing on now is what you need to get through your past and future. Plus if someone on the team did not ask, What do we do now? it may have had a different outcome.
The guidelines align with team building & executive coaching activities. Illustrating through activities a team and person develop exceptions and see ‘what works’ in a context they’re not used too and is still familiar because they just made it happen.
At the end of day 3 we were all losing patience and we felt it was hopeless…so I tried the following version of the Miracle Question.
The cooperation loop is a mindset of working to find cooperation…any size large and small and develop practice of building from that cooperation.
I argue that it works way better than the resistance loop and the results are greater for everyone.
Working to find the solution that is best. Use resistance and questions as a chance to listen to determine what they want.
