Profile Information
- Where are you based? (City & Country)
- Cape Town, South Africa; Europe; Australia
- In which role(s) do you use SF ideas and tools? (You can pick more than one)
- Leader, Coach, Consultant, Trainer, Other (please specify it in "About your connection...")
- What is your website (if any)?
- http://www.solutionfocusedfutures.com
- What is your connection to Solution Focused Work (based on Insoo Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer at BFTC Milwaukee and others)?
- Since meeting Steve de Shazer's ideas in his article "Minimal Elegance" in 1989, this has been my preferred way of working. I did my initial training with BRIEF in London, then with Insoo KIm Berg via University of Milwaukee course, and most recently via the trainer's track of Peter Szabo and Daniel Meier's Solution Surfers Brief Coaching course. I continue to experience that despite SFB being simple but not easy, it offers a potent approach to enabling purposeful change.

Monika Houck said… - Hello Svea,
a hard copy is fine - just saw on a DVD from a Cologne workshop a sequence of Steve and Insoo on the miracle question: Steve explains the role of the silence within asking the question...
you know that learning to be silent is important in my world ...
Will have a look at your African page - have the feeling understanding your questions will help me to better explore and understand in Budapest.
Looking forward
Monika
