Problem Solving Skills
Knowing "How" Is Key!
How's Your Problem Solving Ability?
In business, companies with poor problem solving skills rarely survive for long. They might coast along for a while or even a long time as the owner exists in crisis response mode, but a business like that will never be very profitable and it will never give the business owner the kind of life and style of living he or she dreamed of when the business began.In the world of business or in our personal lives, those who are effective at coming up with real solutions to life's challenges have found the key to happiness. The old saying goes that money can't buy happiness but I believe that problem solving skills can. When I walk through the self-help or personal development sections of bookstores, I see lots of books on motivation and stress relief and developing personal drive and such. All these books tell people that they have to want change and have to be motivated. They do a great job of telling you "WHY", but, where many of these books fall short is in the "HOW". Sure, they all have a few ideas or tools and techniques to get you started but that seems to be all. Unfortunately, the "HOW" is the most important part. Take cooking for example. You can know everything there is to know about food and ambiance and people's tastes, but if you don't have the recipe (the how), then the dish either won't get made it all or it probably won't turn out the way you wanted it to. The same is true of life, but the books that give the how (the recipe books) are not in the self-help and personal development sections of the bookstore, they are in the business section. So my goal, with this website, is to give you access to some real skills that come from a business and project management perspective, but I want to offer these tools and techniques to you in the language of personal empowerment and health and wellness.
