4-day Courses
BRIEF’s 4-day Introductory Course is likely to be one of the most powerful and useful professional courses you will ever attend. We know this because thousands of former participants have told us. However, nothing works for everyone and if you found yourself truly dissatisfied with the course we would refund your fees without question.
What is the course likely to provide for you?
Apart from the programme (full programme) there are a number of probable outcomes
· You will be pleased that you attended.
· You will feel energized and keen to put your learning into practice.
· You will always see your clients in a different, more hopeful, light.
· You will be affirmed in your own practice.
· You might even become one of tomorrow’s leading brief therapists.
· You might find your own life leading in a more positive direction.
Apart from these less tangible outcomes you will learn about the origins the principles and the techniques of solution focused brief therapy and coaching. This will equip you with a number of specific skills which will include:
1. How to tap into your client’s resources from the very first moments of your contact
2. How to negotiate a realistic contract based on a mutually acceptable outcome or goal.
3. How to turn descriptions of problems into descriptions of possibilities.
4. How to help clients describe what they want and the link between this and outcome.
5. How to discover potential solutions buried within the problem behaviours.
6. How to help clients integrate the cognitive, emotional and behavioural aspects of life.
7. How to identify progress towards the agreed outcomes.
8. How to promote change between meetings.
9. How to resolve conflict and build cooperation.
10. How to work with more than one person in the room.
You will also be taught how to apply these skills within your everyday working life taking into account such crucial factors as safety and other statutory and organizational obligations and duties.
What makes all this happen is the very high level of participation on the course. Because solution focused interviewing is like a craft it can only be understood through practice. Over the four days you will spend hours in pairs and small groups doing solution focused interviewing with each other. It is this which makes it almost impossible for you not to be in some way profoundly touched by the experience.
It also means that you will know exactly what your clients are likely to experience when you get back to work. Click here for full programme
TRAINING FEEDBACK 2010
- A huge thank you for this training. I left inspired and re-energised and feel that SFT is something that I will be able to use very comfortably. Was so impressed with it’s simplicity of concept and love the detailed, descriptive approach. Of course I will need lots of practice but I came away with ideas – many thanks!
- Thanks again for the fantastic and insightful three days, which I enjoyed very much. It has been the highlight of this year- and being able to apply this in my work has been great. It is still challenging but I think that's good, keeps me on my toes and keeps me going back to the model.
- Thank you for the training last week I thought it was brilliant! It makes so much sense!
- Thanks for such an interesting and thought provoking course.
- Great training for past two days you are so cool in your delivery it’s very impressive!!
