Erica Riffs - Problem Solving like a Toddler
b'
Two stories from the last week that help to illustrate the importance of being SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED. My kids problem-solve so naturally and guilelessly and bravely. As adults, we don\'t do that as much.
How do we channel the essence of kids\' problem-solving skills as grown-ups without being nonsensical?
1 - Stop discounting the first idea that you have. It\'s the spark that could become a much bigger idea.
2 - Be braver about sharing your ideas for solutions, instead of keeping them to yourself until they\'re "right" enough.
Explore these ideas for how we all operate in today\'s contentious world to bring solutions to the table and forge new connections!
