<p>On 12 November at 2pm one of our directors, Damion Wonfor, will be giving his thoughts and advice on solutions-focused coaching in a&nbsp;<a href="https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/999849806">free webinar</a>.</p>
<p>Solutions-focused coaching is about concentrating more on 'what is working' than what isn't. In this webinar, we will discuss how enabling others to focus on what they are good at can produce better results than paying constant attention to problems.</p>
