Reframing
Reframing is a strategy that can be used for solving problems and coping with stress. Reframing is a way of looking at a situation differently by putting the problem in a different frame, so that participants see their situation in a fresh light which helps them see new and different solutions.Part of doing business is finding the best solution for problems. These problems take many forms. They may be related to customer service, communications, staff relationships, just to name a few. The common theory is that when solving problems, we need to identify the problem first. Although this seems like the easy part of finding the solution, sometimes we frame problems incorrectly. Therefore, the solutions we develop do not completely solve the problem. This session helps participants look at facts and problems in a new frame, which helps clarify solutions. This workshop helps managers/supervisors/staff understand and recognize the difference between a problem that can be solved and unchangeable facts/issues.
