Conversation with  R.M., one of the participants to Solution Building (project manager – banking – 35 years old) I met some of the participants to the Solution Surfers programmes, managers, coaches or trainers, people from whom I wanted to find out what they had gained in these programmes. What did they receive? What did they take for themselves? What are they giving forward?  Give and receive time We met over coffee, during our lunch break, so this was more a conversation than an interview.

I don’t know – but I can help you find out! Choosing a coaching approach is like choosing a place to eat out. Sometimes you just want to get out of your own kitchen, don’t you? While ingredients are numerous to begin with, the ways to combine them are innumerable. As we speak, there is a cook somewhere giving a small twist to an old recipe and changing the experience of it for his customers. No matter how familiar or strange, all recipes that exist are delicious to some people and unpalatable to others. You can go to an Italian Pizzerian, an Argentinian

By: Robert Blaga (Robert's Website) When I learned that I was accepted into college, the Psychology department, about 12 years ago, my mind was set on becoming a psychotherapist. I was eager to learn the craft and start helping people work on their challenges. After only six months, I gave up. The first rule of the game was to keep your mouth shut and don’t offer solutions to the client. It was not my kind of business. What if I know what the client should do?

By Fania Pallikarakis When I sat down to write this article for protagon.gr I asked myself, how could I explain what Solution Focus is, in only 400 words? Can it be described so briefly? I kept stopping and starting. And then I realised. I didn’t have to explain what it is. We all already know. We just don’t know that we know. We all solution-­‐focus, we just don’t know that we do.
