Preface

As a young student, when I first heard about ‘minus 1 and minus 2’ in mathematics class, I instantly thought “I have to tell about this to everyone!” I felt so exited and was so amazed about the existence of those numbers. Wow, what difference that would make to all my future mathematics! Simply realizing there are possibilities in a whole new and different direction…Wow!!”

I hope to give you a taste of the possibilities of Solution Focused Mentoring. Perhaps for some of you, opening a possibility for a whole new perspective and direction…

As a colleague I’ve mentored new teachers.

As a coach I’ve heard about the need for mentoring in the business world.

As an uncertain person in a new working environment I’ve needed mentoring for myself.

As a friend I’ve noticed the need of mentoring in the creative, artistic world.

As a mother of two teenagers I’ve heard a lot about the mentors they’ve met during their school years.

As far as I know this is the first book about Solution Focused Mentoring.

I’d like to make you familiar with the idea in a brief way. Therefore it’s necessary to leave some important issues about the Solution Focused insights on a shelf. I really wanted it to be as brief and clear as possible for you. Brief enough to read it over and over again, clear enough to understand it instantly.

Meanwhile you can contact me for any question about Solution Focused Mentoring, The Solution Focused Approach, Solution Focused Coaching & Counselling and Helpful Communication Skills. My workshops and training are tailored to your learning desires. There will always be personal elements in it, like in this e-book. There will be a lot of original and creative assignments in it.

In the end you will be smiling, I assure you!

Smile,

Ella de Jong
