Daily Inspiration: "Be the person who sees the solutions, not the one who only identifies the problems!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

You never read a LinkedIn profile that starts out boasting someone is just a problem-identifier - but you do see people boasting that they are a problem-solver! You never see a resume that lists a key skill as problem identification without solution generation. You'll never find someone proud of the fact that they spend their time whining about all the problems they've found, rather than speaking about the solutions they've identified.

Solve problems, don't stop at just finding them!

How can you do this if it doesn't come naturally to you? It involves your mindset, habits, and skills.

Start by sharing your perspective - it's all about opportunities, not barriers. Be proactive instead of reactive - so that you are always trying to move forward, not back. Changing your tone helps - replace “we can’t” with “how can we?” Stop being the victim - don't say “Why is this happening to me?" but rather "What should we do about it?"

And spend more time thinking about trends, not barriers. All of the individuals I have met who have an innovative mindset seem to have a better understanding of where we are going tomorrow than those who do not. They spend time thinking about and studying the things that will matter tomorrow, rather than obsessing over the things that are getting in the way today.

Confidence matters too - confidence in yourself, your team, and your ability to smash through the barriers that might get in your way. With that comes the necessity for perseverance - don't give up so easily!

What's the difference? I asked ChatGPT to write two different LinkedIn profiles. Check the post out - spot the difference!

During the last few months, I've hardly read something as moving as this reflection of #VictoriaSpashchenko, a wonderful #SolutionFocused #coach from #Ukraine, on how her approach worked for her, and what she has evolved, changed or adapted.

#SolutionFocused (SF) Team Coaching. I'm helping teams to pin down what they want more of, and how they'll move forward. They're already experts in what they want less of, so the real work starts with describing preferred futures. Not in terms of years to come, or goals, but in terms of NOW, and signs.
