STRATEGIES FOR HUMAN THRIVING

We're faced with challenges in all areas of our lives and all ecosystems that we engage with. In order to help you to turn obstacles into opportunities I have created the Pause to Puzzle Framework. This approach can be learned and applied by anyone and it can be adapted to facilitate positive progress when facing problems in any ecosystem. Embracing this process as a practice develops:

Personal empowerment | Critical thinking for greater understanding | Collaborative opportunities

PAUSE TO PUZZLE FRAMEWORK

A process for optimising our experience, opportunities, efficiencies and the meeting of everyone’s needs.

STEP 1

Pause

Purpose

Create space between something happening and our response. This empowers the opportunity to our increase awareness and choose how we engage.

Process

Simply pause….everything. Actions, motion, thoughts… This will allow for non-judgmental observation, reduce automatic responses and habitual reactions that may have negative impacts. It will give you time to pay attention and see what you can notice.

STEP 2

Explore

Purpose

Gather information, improve your awareness and build your capacity for designing positive solutions.

Process

Observe and get curious. Connect and ask questions. Investigate and gain greater understanding. Discover what is contributing and available for you to work with.

Purpose

Holistic solution design to optimise the experience, opportunities and outcomes.

Process

Working with all of the people, information and contributing factors you have collected, you can piece together your puzzle to design optimal solutions.
