In the traditional problem-solving approach, you look for things that aren’t working and try to make them better. Christie believes that when you do that, you feel overwhelmed, drained, and not particularly inspired.
Instead, she uses a strengths-based approach and focuses on what’s working for you and your organization. When you uncover your strengths and pay attention to what’s working, you feel energized and motivated to change the things that aren’t working – and replace them with new tools and approaches that will lead you to better results.
