Introduction by Mark McKergow This talk is vitally important in taking a more detailed and inclusive view of Solution Focused (SF) practice. While some are content to insist that there is no theory in SF, this is not a view which will help us expands and develop the field and engage with academics and thinkers from other fields.

In this 30 minute conversation, Olayinka Madamidola invites us into the heart of the Solution Focused stance. She beautifully demonstrates what it means to slow down and notice: create enough space for the unexpected to emerge and discover what is easily overlooked. Her reflections are a reminder that as SF practitioners, awareness is something we continually cultivate.
