Get where you want to go : a forward focussed approach to coaching
summary
Solution‑focused coaching reframes stuck conversations by prioritising a clear direction over problem analysis and using small, repeatable moves to generate change. Practical tools include a plain‑language definition of the desired state, simple experiments and “one more option” prompts to stretch possibilities, short exercises (ask for a ticket without naming the destination) to reveal assumptions, and co‑created agreements that change system interfaces. It works in one‑to‑ones, teams and organisations, complements GROW and existing processes, requires no certification, and aims to amplify what already works rather than fix deficits. choose a direction use simple language ask do you have one more
