What’s Been Better Since We Last Spoke?
If you’ve ever had a Solution Focused session, you’ll recognise this question. It’s one of my favourites – and not just because it’s a cornerstone of the approach. It’s because of what it does in the first minute of a conversation: it gently, but deliberately, redirects attention. Instead of cataloguing everything that went wrong, everything […]
The Importance of Tomorrow
Life never stands still. Every moment brings subtle shifts, new encounters, and unexpected opportunities.
