positively extraordinary. Praise for Positively Speaking: "With
Positively Speaking Jackson and Waldman have created my dream
Solutions Focus book: they make the concepts absurdly easy to
understand and - more importantly - they make the material relevant
to my work and relationships " Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener, Programme
Director, Center of Applied Positive Psychology "The strategic
application of Solution Focused approaches can help unlock the most
challenging aspects of executive leadership in the modern public
sector. Jackson and Waldman's approach instils the discipline of
simplicity and builds confidence through positive enquiry. I have
greatly benefited from working with them and recommend Positively
Speaking as a way ahead." Andrew Fowlie, General Manager, NHS
Grampian "For me, there's nothing like going on a course and
gaining new skills - unless it's a book like 'Positively Speaking',
which gives me background, theory, case studies, models and, most
importantly real concrete ways to put all of that into practice in
my day-to day work of coaching, facilitation and working through
conflict. This book is a real asset to any practitioner who needs
to 'just do it' - just great." Ann Lukens, Director, Groupworks
"This resource really does live up to its aim of helping us learn
more about what we can do rather than what we can't. I like the way
it brings the idea of Solutions Focus to life through examples,
case studies and practical exercises. I'll definitely be using
these ideas in my work as a facilitator and coach." Colin Coombs,
Learning & Development Manager, Tate Paul Z Jackson and Janine
Waldman are co-directors of The Solutions Focus
(www.thesolutionsfocus.co.uk), leading a team of consultants,
facilitators and coaches who apply this approach worldwide in
