Hi, does the public chatroom "Being solution focused" still exist? I'm from Germany and I would like to get to know people who are interested in the solution focused approach.

Carl,
Excellent story. Capture the essence of SF so well. I'll share it with a primary EBD team I'm working with tomorrow.

I love the image of the " back to the future" time machine, and what could or may happen in the future & how things can be changed and altered.
Although i am not formally Solution Focused trained,i have used the "time machine" metaphor with success(I think?). I especially like the HG wells "The time machine" image with Rod Taylor (1960) and am mindful of that iconic scene from the dress shop.
I now realise i may have indeed moved from being an information giver to being an information seeker in all aspects of practice!!! "Life is different when we can see a future."

Well said, well handled, sensitively managed... difficult in the moment to be respectful and calm.
It sometimes so hard to have a clear head and a calm demeanour when the adrenalin is flowing and we are struggling with the natural reactions of "Flight V Fight".
Passion, anger or a cry for justice.. Thanks for your insight.

Hi Carl

Note to self,"Must get more internet-savvy and join the quiet revolution..must elbow the wife off the computer now and again".

We are of course sampling the finest lagers as well as coffees..?

Now where's the little smiley-face button?

Hi Steve,

Interesting post.

I agree that there is a real drop off from people who positively evaluate the training that they have done and those who follow through and get involved in networking events.

From my own experiences of training, I am always interested in what happens to people I have trained? With the work I do at Loughborough University, we do a 3 month follow up from the initial training course. This tells us that people do begin using the ideas and what aspects of their work they apply it to. The results are very positive.

Other feedback can come from randomly meeting a past participant or via email. For example, this week I had a lady email to ask permission to use one of my handouts in some resources she is producing for dieticians. She explained that she is finding SFP most helpful. But it was only by chance that I got to hear from her!

I completely agree with your words around the 'support' that people miss out on when they go it alone. For myself, my learning and practice has been helped immensley from attending the local Staffordshire interest group and UKASFP annual conference, not to mention my ongoing supervision and SF friendships.

It has got to be easier when you have like-minded around you. I feel really privileged to be working in Staffordshire with many experienced SF practitioners in the community.

The video on the history of BSFT is very creative, simple, yet profound, like SFT.
I will use the quotes in my SFT training sessions. I will make posters and leave space below for agree/disagree and comments
Thank you so much for the inspiration
