Who’s Solution Focus on tour?
We are solution-focused change facilitators, passionate about SF leadership, communication, and microanalysis. In 2017, we embraced a new adventure—downsizing to an RV and traveling across Europe, the United States, and Canada to share Solution-Focused Thinking with people, universities, and organizations. Along the way, we connected with solution-focused practitioners, learning from their experiences and interviewing them for our Simply Focus Podcast.
Our passion for microanalysis of face-to-face dialogue shapes how we understand communication and leadership. We explore what makes conversations impactful and share these insights in online courses, articles, and leadership programs. As co-leaders of the Solution-Focused Leadership course at HSLU, we support professionals in applying SF principles in leadership and beyond.
Now, back in Switzerland, our journey continues! We look forward to exploring new opportunities and sharing the power of Solution Focused Thinking across Europe and beyond.
