Problems are a natural part of life. Solving them is a skillful art and science. Albert Einstein said, “You cannot solve a problem from the frame of mind that created the problem in the first place.” The key is not to let a problem stop you and be clear about what you want.

Learn quick, easy and practical techniques for reducing stress associated with problem-solving. The trick is choosing to be a creator not a reactor to life, turning problems into tangible goals, and focusing your attention on your intention.

Using a simple and engaging 5-step problem-solving process you will be able to:

1. Solve your own personal and professional problems with greater effectiveness by transforming them into meaningful goals.

2. Teach your employees how to think through an issue or problem and empower them to resolve it on their own, coming to you with a recommended solution rather than expecting you to solve their problem.

3. Guide teams to take ownership to solve team issues or problems that affect productivity and progress.

You will come away from the course feeling more prepared to face problems with poise and confidence.
