Lance Jonah Wiggins
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
1600 Solution-Focused Questions: A Practical Guide to SFBT, Coaching, Leadership, Education, and Community-Based Practice is an essential resource for professionals who want to guide conversations toward clarity, progress, and action. This book provides real-world, results-driven questions designed to help people move forward, breaking away from the endless cycle of problem-saturated discussions.
Traditional methods often focus too much on analysing problems, but solution-focused approaches offer something different: a way to shift attention to what works, what is possible, and what is already improving—even if only slightly. This book equips therapists, coaches, educators, leaders, and community workers with a structured set of 1600 effective questions to facilitate meaningful conversations that lead to real change.
What This Book Offers
1600 targeted questions to help clients, students, employees, and communities identify strengths and build solutions.
Practical techniques that can be applied in therapy, coaching, leadership, education, and social work.
Case examples showing how the right question at the right time can unlock insight, clarity, and motivation.
Frameworks for tracking progress using scaling, self-reflection, and exception-based questions.
Guidance on overcoming resistance from skeptical clients, workplace teams, and institutional systems.
