Solution-focused coaching

Solution-focused coaching looks at the desired outcome and at what is already working, rather than digging at length into the problem. It comes from the solution-focused brief therapy of Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg. Its basic question is this: 'When things go a little better, what are you doing differently?' It turns toward the small steps of the future rather than the causes of the past. Enlarging the exceptions often advances things faster than analyzing the problem.
