Facilitative Learning - An Interview with Dr. Michael Gass
May 29, 2006
There is a 12 ounce glass and it has 6 ounces of water in it.
Is this glass half empty or half full?
In this audio interview, Dr. Michael Gass of the University of New Hampshire offers his unique persective on this puzzle. You'll hear how he uses this glass-of-water metaphor to share powerful distinctions between "PROBLEM-Focused Facilitation" and "SOLUTION-Focused Facilitation".
In this interview we discuss the power of questions, being (and staying) curious and inquisitive, the "confusion technique", approaching difficulties as gifts, and more.
