Exploring knowledge and experience-based SF practice: narratives that go beyond original principles and techniques

Change is always happening. Therefore, as SF practitioners we continuously develop unique and personalized insights and comprehensions that go beyond the original or formal formulations that were proposed by the founders and instructors of the SF approach. The aim of the workshop is to explore through a co-constructive process our evolving ideas about the SF approach, in a manner that may offer each of us a mutual benefit. It will be conducted in a format similar to that of the ‘Balint groups’ methodology.

Room of Miracles (SR 4)

The Solution-Focused Genius Zone

The workshop will offer a twofold activity: The first part will present The Genius Zone(*) as a possible concept to use when building the answer to the Miracle Question. Participants could identify their own Genius Zone and learn a process to do the same with their clients.

The second part will offer the thought of how does one combine the SF paradigm with another paradigm/model. The idea (and the main message) is to continue to develop the SF thinking by interacting between the SF language with another one.

Attendees are to expect at least two benefits:

  1. To get acquainted with the concept of The Genius Zone and the offered idea of its relation to the SF by exploring their own Zone of Genius, and
  2. Looking at the work presented and learn one possible way to further develop the already known SF approach.

Attendees will discover their own Genius Zone and, ponder about what might be useful for them to develop in the SF arena.
