"It’s not about being an expert. It’s about being interested.”

In this energising episode of the Towards Solutions podcast, we sit down with Dutch Solution Focused practitioner and organisational consultant Paut Struik, whose wisdom, warmth, and practicality make this a must-listen.

Here’s what we explore:

• What makes a truly surprising conversation—and how to invite one
• How to shift an entire organisation’s culture, starting with leadership
• Why SF doesn’t stop at the frontline—and how it grows by osmosis
• How to use “Intervision” to sustain team learning and energy
• And a small question that can quietly transform any meeting:

Paut reminds us that powerful change doesn’t require grand plans—just small moments of real interest, repeated with intention.

Whether you’re in coaching, leadership, education, health, or just love great conversations—this one’s for you.

In this beautifully expansive conversation, we sit down with Dr. Haesun Moon — communication scientist, author of Coaching A to Z, and creator of the Dialogic Orientation Quadrant — to explore what it means to dwell in meaningful conversations.

Together, we unpack the art of listening for good reasons, explore hypertext as a metaphor — where each word becomes a doorway to new possibilities — and reflect on how conversations can either shrink or grow our sense of hope, purpose, and possibility. Along the way, Haesun shares powerful stories from her teaching, writing, and personal reflections on what makes Solution Focused practice both humble and sophisticated.

Whether you're a coach, a leader, or someone simply trying to have better conversations, this episode invites you to slow down, listen with greater care, and reimagine what it means to work with — not on — people.

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Iveson — co-founder of BRIEF and one of the leading voices in Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

Chris shares decades of wisdom in a way that only he can: clear, humble, and deeply insightful.

Whether you’re a therapist, leader, coach, educator or simply curious about how small conversations can unlock big changes — this one is well worth your time.

We explore how not knowing can become a strength, how simplicity helps people discover their own next steps, and how Solution Focused conversations shield us from burnout by drawing strength and renewal from witnessing the resourcefulness and growth of others.
