Effective coaching involves identifying the real issue, which may differ from the client's initial perception.

Effective problem-solving involves not only analyzing the issue but also questioning its framing and seeking alternative perspectives to identify the true underlying problem.

People often get stuck viewing a problem from one perspective. To find better solutions, ask deeper questions and explore alternative viewpoints. Use these 5 strategies:

1. Look outside the problem.

2. Challenge the goal.

3. Examine positive exceptions.

4. Reflect on your role in the problem.

5. Consider the perspectives of others.
