Being Solution-Focused - The #InnovatorsMindset Podcast S1 Ep 44

During this episode of The Innovator's Mindset Podcast, George Couros shares some of his "thoughts on the road." Having just completed a professional learning day with a group in Massachusetts, George reflects on a conversation he had with another educator - there is a difference between being positive and being solution-focused. When we get into those negative thinking spaces, it can affect ourselves and those around us. When we re-frame our negative thoughts to be more solution-focused, we are not ignoring the negatives or being overly positive, we are finding ways to resolve the issue and move forward. Much of this episode was inspired by this quote from Marc and Angel: “Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative. There is a big difference between the two.” Links: Marc and Angel Quote - https://georgecouros.ca/blog/archives/tag/marc-and-angel Marc and Angel - https://www.marcandangel.com/2020/01/06/20-powerful-affirmations-we-should-repeat-to-ourselves-this-year/ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.
