Weekly Group Support Open Letter- Week of March 09
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well and if something might not work, you are not alone. We are here with you.
Before we look at what we did in the last week, I want us to try solution-focused problem-solving. No matter what problem you are experiencing, I ask you to give this technique a try. Here is a template for you all to use!!
- Step 1) Problem (try to say/ note it as simple and clear as possible)
- Step 2) Solution (the opposite of the problem)
- Step 3) Key Steps to Achieve Solution
- Step 4) 1-10 rating of the problem (1 is really not good and 10 is great)
- Current rating: X
- Due date check-in (rate problem again on a 1-10 scale): Y
Here is an example and detailed post shared by Glen
I like everyone to try this technique to solve any problem and share your experiences, questions, thoughts on it in the comments of this post. We will discuss it together and figure out things. You are also welcome to drop me a message and I will be glad to discuss with you 1-1 as well.
Now, lets check what we did and accomplished together last week!
