I’ve just spent three days on a tennis court, learning the intricacies of the Inner Game – and beyond – with a group of sports coaches led by former US tennis pro Sean Brawley. I went with two aims. 

One was to improve my tennis and the other was to clarify the resonances between Inner Game (IG) and Solutions Focus (SF). Here’s how the best bits of Inner Game make sense to me, in an amalgam with SF.

To make progress in anything probably demands Focus…

Here is the most recent blog from The Solutions Focus:

Before England’s 2-1 defeat in their crucial World Cup game with Uruguay, captain Steven Gerrard warned his players they faced a "terrible" summer if they lost.

Gerrard, who went through disappointing World Cup campaigns in 2006 and 2010 - when England lost 4-1 to Germany - said he underlined the high price of failure in a special address to the squad.

"Going into this game, (they have) to realise it could be…

In der letzten Ausgabe der Zeitschrift OrganisationsEntwicklung (3/13, S.4ff) berichtet Manfred Kets de Vries von seinen effektiven Erfahrungen mit Gruppencoachings mit Führungskräften. 

"Verglichen mit Einzelcoachings (...) erscheint uns Gruppen- oder Teamcoaching effektiver. Es produziert mehr Veränderungsmöglichkeiten und Wendepunkte (Tipping Points) - diese Momente plötzlicher Erkenntnis, die zu positiven Veränderungen führen. Wir sprechen von einem Wendepunkt, wenn sich…

Ich arbeite seit einigen Jahren als Lehrsupervisorin an der Hochschule für Angewandte Psychologie, IAP, und begleite Studierende der Coaching-, Supervisions- und Organisationsentwicklung. Mir war es ein grosses Anliegen, die lösungsfokussierte Arbeit strukturiert und nachvollziehbar in meine Arbeit als Gruppen-Lehrsupervisorin zu integrieren. Meine eigenen…

Dear SOL-friends

Full of SOL energy, I am using my time before breakfast here in Bad Pyrmont to work on my SF Leadership research project and want to share one more result with you before heading home this afternoon:

My dear SOL-friends

It's been a great pleasure to share and learn together at this year's superb SOLconference. I feel very grateful and thank you for everything!

I am still overwhelmed by the warm welcome and great support of my SF Leadership SOL talk research results and ideas. SF Leadership (SFL) is not only happening in the 57 organisations that participated in my survey, but also through our sharing.

What struck me the most, is that the…

According to the latest research she presents in her book, love is not so much a noun but rather a verb. It is something that emerges in micro-moments of interactions between…
