Solutions Focused Coaching
Purpose
Direct attention to what's already working and amplify it
How to Use
Same framework as Row 18 (de Shazer/Berg). 1. Start with 'What's better?' rather than 'What's the problem?' 2. Use exception questions to identify when the problem is less severe. 3. Apply the miracle question. 4. Use scaling to measure progress and identify the next small step. 5. Assign a simple behavioural experiment between sessions.
