About this listen

Solutions Focus Practice is transforming coaching, consulting and leadership in organisations all over the world. A powerful yet simple approach to positive change, a solutions focus approach to people problems explores what works in a given situation and aims do more of it.

The Solutions Focus is the definitive guide to this revolutionary yet practical alternative to conventional wisdom. It demonstrates how the unique SIMPLE method of working sidesteps the search for the causes of trouble and heads directly for the solution. Today national solutions focus associations around the world from Sweden to Australia, base their training on the methods explained here.

Solutions focus is in widespread use by consultants, coaches, facilitators and managers. It can be applied at one-to-one, group or organisational levels. Applications include health and wellbeing, sales and negotiation, team building and leadership, performance management, organisational strategy and even peace-building and climate resilience.

This long-awaited new edition of The Solutions Focus is fully revised and updated for today's executive, career and life coaches. Including the transformative OSKAR coaching framework, one of the most used throughout the coaching world.

Revisions to this acclaimed book include updates throughout to position it in the contemporary landscape. Next generation developments are fully covered including new research on embodiment and experience, the role of hosting rather than directing, and the importance of detail.

New case studies from around the world including Nestle, Kraft, Tate and Canon continue the book's legacy of learning from real cases by looking closely at what happens and how it works. Finally, new material exploring improvisation and co-constructed stories completes the update and will ensure this book remains the leader in its field for generations to come.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I read this book shortly after it first came out. On re-reading it in its third edition I know a lot more about change in organisation and have more opportunity to influence change, I was surprised how much of the approach I had internalised and how much of it I still regularly use. The book made me smile at times with recognition. Having met Paul and attended one of his workshops and having read some of Mark’s other articles, I can only recommend both authors for their fun and engaging writing and thoughtful explanations and stories. I really enjoyed listening to this revised third edition.

So much to learn and revisit
