Navigating the bumps and hurdles of graduate studies can be a major source of stress. The good news is that you can find effective ways to tackle these challenges by leveraging skills you already have. Taking a solution-focused approach to graduate education emphasizes your competencies, strengths and possibilities instead of problems, deficits and weaknesses. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn practical techniques and work with simulation actors and your peers to learn how to shift your focus from problems to solutions.
Learning outcomes
Upon the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Use practical solution-focused techniques to address common challenges
- Identify key hope-activating and goal-setting skills
- Set time-efficient goals for their interactions with supervisors and instructors
