Solution Focused Thinking Programmes

4-day Face-to-Face Programme

This 4-day programme has a proven record of increasing productivity and performance, enabling leaders to master the application of the Go M.A.D.® Thinking System to Go Make a Difference in whatever subjects they choose. These typically include personal/career development, projects relating to cost/time savings, coaching/managing teams and improving the quality of meetings.

The programme is based on three of the best-selling books by Andy Gilbert, Founder and developer of the Go M.A.D.® Thinking System: ‘Go MAD – The Art of Making a Difference‘, ‘Go M.A.D. about Coaching‘ and ‘‘How to Save Time and Money by Managing Meetings Effectively’‘.

You will be provided with a practical toolkit to approach problems or goals differently and measure the impact. Online learning resources and telephone coaching support will further embed new solution focused habits to enable you to solve problems and achieve goals more easily.

Graduates of this programme acquire a vast toolkit of advanced techniques for a lifetime of enhanced personal effectiveness, confidence and ability to make significant, measurable and lasting impacts in the workplace.

"I really benefited from attending the Solutions Focused Thinking programme, both on a business and personal level. The methodology is practical and easy to use and I find my wider team getting value from the process when I apply the methodology in our team meetings. I've recommended many colleagues to attend this dynamic programme."

"Fantastic! I have been in the call centre industry for 15 years and thought that I had seen pretty much every way of coaching and managing people. I have been shown a whole new way of doing things that will have a great benefit to what we do here. I came away with the tools to move my managers and teams onwards to greater levels. I have also found a way of getting the managers to find the answers from within themselves instead of just asking questions that they know the answers to."

"A life changing course! I have spent the whole weekend explaining the course to friends and family, I am consciously changing my thoughts and behaviours with the confidence that it will become second nature. It is strange that we are always taught to behave better, from teachers and parents, no one thought to teach us to ‘think’ better to ourselves and better...what a difference it has made to me."
