When I call something complex, what does that mean?Let us assume that me calling something complex is expressing a point of view. Which point of view is that?Perhaps this: "in order for me to understand this (or to feel like I am on top of these things) I would need multiple point of views, most likely more than the ones I am aware of now".Take for instance the way the climate works. I would call it simple if I feel I can somehow oversee the system, by either having a broad image, or by being…See More

- Coach, Consultant, Trainer
- What is your website (if any)?
- http://www.superblyhuman.com
- What is your connection to Solution Focused Work (based on Insoo Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer at BFTC Milwaukee and others)?
- I'm fond of how powerful communication and especially powerful listening can enable people to change.
That's why I want to coach / advise / train people in mastering a more solution focused approach to their lives and their challenges.
I used to work as a journalist and a copywriter (mainly in advertising and social marketing) before I discovered solution focused work.
I have a profound interest in how behavioural economics/sciences, non-violent communication, buddhism and mindfulness are related to solution focused work.
At the moment I'm following a 4-year training in solution focused therapy at the Korzybski-institute (Bruges, Belgium).
