Morgan Lewis
Introduced by Annie Bordeleau In this talk, Morgan Lewis shares his SF journey to support young athletes in finding their confidence and connecting to their excellence.
Using solution focus questions when coaching the athletes, he engages in a quest to gather evidence of competence, to nurture their self-confidence and self-belief.
Alan Kay, Cristina Mühl
Introduced by John Brooker This Global Chapter meetup, led ably by Cristine Mühl, provides several benefits for change facilitators:
Cristine introduced participants to Miro, an online whiteboard programme. The attendees had a stimulating, ad hoc discussion on the difference between complex and complicated problems. Alan Kay shared his long experience of developing and using the ‘kitchen table’ approach to increasing knowledge in a group. Alan’s view is that practitioners can, with a little practice, adopt Solution Focus (SF) Coaching to whatever system or application a customer uses, albeit they might occasionally need to refer the customer to someone with more specialised knowledge. The solution-focused kitchen table is one way he applies SF.

My background in compliance, audit, consulting and international business arena made me realize how important coaching was in the current corporate world.
I was introduced to the Solution Focus approach during coaching training with Kirsten Dierolf and after that by interacting with members of the SF community and adapting business models to incorporate SF values. In 2020, I have been heavily involved in organizing the first 24 hours SF Conference and a pro-bono coaching project with SFiO Romania.
After successful careers in journalism for Thomsons and as a comedy producer for BBC Radio, I have been a trainer, facilitator, keynote speaker, author and consultant.
SF has been central to my work for many years. The concepts of SFBT were so inspiring that they not only informed my own practice, but I was determined to promote them to the wider world. This has included writing three books about SF: The Solutions Focus, co-authored with Mark McKergow, and Positively Speaking and The Management Pocketbook of Resilience, co-authored with Janine Waldman.
