Now, lets begin...

Do you trust the cops?

Whether you do or don't, you might be making assumptions about them that can cloud your judgement and the way you engage with them. So what about your client's, when dealing with your clients what kind of assumptions do you make about them? It works in the same way.

As a solution focused professional working in numerous roles, and training the same, I have gathered a list of assumptions I always use with my clients. These may or may not be true but I don't care because I'll always work as if they are true.

I've used them so long I may have got them from solution focused, stolen from other models or maybe made them up?

They have served me well and one or two of them might serve you too.

I'd love to hear your comments.
