How does Solution Focused work?• Assume that people are doing things the right way
• Storytelling: Have people tell about what is working. Why is it working, under which circumstances?
• Stimulate by giving sincere compliments, help him/her by recognizing results. Positive feedback!
• How does the perfect solution look? How can you make a small step in the right direction?

• Strengths – Successes, what works? Why?– Start right away, here and now – Capabilities, Energy & Motivation– Rhinelands Thinking
• Collaboration– The action is in the interaction– Possibilities, win-win
The solution is no problem!
