Creating Solution-Focused Working Environments

Training programme

This training programme teaches managers and staff the skills required to create cooperative and energising working environments. It is a synthesis of Ben Furman's and Tapani Ahola's more than three decades of experience in leadership training and organisational development in Finland as well as internationally.

By participating in this programme you will learn how to:

  • create a positive team spirit
  • motivate yourself and others
  • solve problems
  • offer criticism
  • respond to criticism
  • resolve hurts

The training programme consists of six three-hour workshops and assignments to be carried out between meetings. It ends with a follow-up session to be organised some weeks after the final workshop.

To ensure the highest quality of training, Ben Furman and Tapani Ahola require that each participant is provided with their personal copy of the handbook and that the trainer is certified to teach the programme.
