• Do you want to help create positive change in your team, department or organization?
• Do you want to energize your people as you tackle challenges together?
• Do you want to get things moving quickly, even in complex and tough situations?
Then the Solution-Focused approach is for you!
Learn tried and tested solution-building methods that are integral to creating positive change within teams and organizations. The Solution-Focused Business Professional (SFBP) Certificate focuses on learning and adopting tools of the Solution-Focused (SF) approach. Pioneered by Mark McKergow, co-author of “The Solutions Focus: Transforming change for coaches, leaders and consultants,” the SF method allows managers, coaches, consultants and facilitators to enhance their skill sets to build on what is working rather than fixing what isn’t. Using this powerful and pragmatic approach, you work directly with Mark McKergow himself to address real-world issues specific to your team and organization’s needs. Following this 16-week online program, you achieve a full understanding of the SF method and use it to address situations that all business professionals face.
After enrollment, you will receive an email approximately one week prior to the class start date with instructions on how to access the online course. As an instructor-facilitated online course, you are required to have routine access to high-speed internet. Additionally, a recent version of Microsoft Office Suite including Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint along with a course and textbook are required. The course includes weekly assignments that follow stated deadlines. Upon completion, your certificate will be mailed to you within two weeks after the last day of class.
