Solution-Focus with Elfie Czerny & Dominik Godat
… where we explore how Solution Focus brings joyful perspectives on change, leadership, and everyday life.
What we love …
We are Solution-Focus with Elfie Czerny and Dominik Godat, and we love to facilitate experiences that offer joyful perspectives on change. Change can be easy, as it brings chances and possibilities. More importantly, it opens doors to new ways of thinking and acting.
We enjoy supporting people in connecting with their hopes, brilliance, magnificence, and resources, while also inspiring them to develop joyful ideas about their future. Through our work, we help individuals see how they can actively contribute to their hoped-for future. At the same time, we invite them to explore concrete ideas for small yet impactful next steps.
The solution-focused approach is both simple and highly effective. Moreover, there are countless amazing practitioners worldwide who bring it to life in diverse fields. That’s why, in our SIMPLY FOCUS podcast, we engage in conversations with solution-focused professionals from all around the world. Our goal is to highlight the great variety of fields where Solution Focus is applied.
Additionally, our painted motorhome sparks curiosity and encourages people to connect with us to learn more about Solution Focus. Through our interactions, we aim to inspire individuals to explore how this approach can add value to their lives.
YES! Life can be simple and joyful—and solution-focus can be the key.
What differences do we want to make?
Our best hope is that everyone who joins our journey becomes fascinated by the benefits of this focus. Furthermore, we hope that together, we can create even more solution-focused interactions. This includes seeing and acknowledging our own and others’ brilliance, inviting each other to talk about our preferred futures, recognizing what already works, and discovering signs of progress in our daily lives.
By doing so, we amplify useful change in the world—together!
Life is an adventure …
As solution-focus practitioners, we experience joy, complications, simplicity, complexity, and ease, along with many other emotions. However, our hearts and solution-focus conversations lead the way. The principles of the solution-focus approach guide us to remain open to signs of progress while exploring what works toward our preferred future.
We embrace life as an adventure by seeing possibilities, appreciating each other and our journey, and actively training ourselves to discover signs of joy and ease. Every day offers us plenty of opportunities to strengthen our solution-focus. This practice allows us to become better and faster at shifting our focus to what we want—particularly when we feel caught in a problem focus.
Moreover, training how to change our focus, supporting each other through solution-focused conversations & interactions, and laughing a lot are essential ingredients for our joyful adventures.
After all, it’s often the small daily interactions and the small next steps that carry the greatest power.
We love to share our experiences and inspire YOU to discover this power in your own daily life!
What fascinates us at Solution Focus with Elfie Czerny & Dominik Godat?
Applying a Solution-Focused perspective to everyday life is truly fascinating. We are inspired by the idea of living close to the essence of life—cherishing what is truly essential in the moment while letting go of everything else.
At the same time, we continuously explore simple yet powerful ways to create a life filled with joy, ease, and meaningful change. Whether in leadership, business, or daily interactions, we love discovering how small shifts in focus can open up new possibilities and amplify progress.
For us, the solution-focus approach has been a powerful key to both!
With its focus on the preferred future, what already works, and signs of progress, it provides a fast track to a life filled with joy and ease. More importantly, it serves as a constant reminder to focus on what truly matters.
The solution-focused approach has been successfully applied across many professional fields—from therapy and coaching to leadership and education. Thousands of publications, research studies (see e.g. Journal of Solution Focused Practices), and international conferences have explored its effectiveness.
Nevertheless, using solution-focus in everyday life has not yet been a major area of research and application.
And that is what fascinates us!
How can we integrate solution-focus into everyday interactions? How can it enhance family life, business life, and leadership? And how can it support us in living a life filled with joy and ease?
These are the questions that continue to excite and inspire us—every single day!
