5 December 2008 in News, What I am up to Write by Paolo Terni[lang_en]
Since September:
- I led 4 workshops on Conflict Management (Crif, VM motori, Festo), 3 workshops on Stress Management (Vm motori, Festo), 3 workshops on Problem Solving (Crif, Vm motori), 1 workshop on Persuasive Communication (Yale)
- I led 2 Assessment Centers (SAME)
- I led 4 Development Centers (Burgo)
- I supervised one colleague (coach); I coached 2 managers (SAES); I coached an executive team (individual coaching session, 6 coachees; Molmed)
Pretty busy!!
Again, I am very impressed by how my clients are able to work and thrive in the face of very difficult challenges!! Kudos. Always in awe, always learning myself.
January and February are usually slow, and I will have more time to post and to develop new materials.
I kept working on projects falling into the category “important but not urgent”, though:
- my article on “solution-focused protocols and evolutionary thinking” is pretty much done; it will be the basis of my presentation in Texel
- another article, on Solution-Focused Approaches vis-à-vis U.S. armed forces COIN operations, is almost completed
- as I mentioned in the previous post, I tweaked my workshop materials, based on the response from the participants and based on some new research results that got recently published
- I completed the booklets of materials (slides, forms, mind maps, teaching aids…) regarding two new programs I will launch in 2009: one is a program in “Self-Directed Behaviors” – teaching life skills to youths; the other one is a coaching program aimed at increasing Life Satisfaction, based on positive psychology and the science of happiness
- I listened to a ton of podcasts: Brainscience, Skeptoid, WNYC Radio Lab, NPR science… they are an awesome resource, and fun to listen to while I am traveling on a train going to clients or coming back home; they are a great way to keep up-to-date and find new evidence-based practices that could be useful to clients!
Stay tuned, 2009 will be exciting!

WHAT'S IN THE NAME?
A friend of mine asked me why I chose the name briefcoachingsolutions for my website.
Easy: it is the shortest description for what I do.
Solutions: that is what my clients arrive at: solutions. For their goals, their needs, their problems. They arrive at better solutions. Faster. With less effort. Solutions sustainable in the long run because they are based on what is already working in the clients' situations
it is also the description of my approach: solution-focused.
Coaching: that is the tool I use to help clients...
