	In today's work environment of eliminating and or restructuring management positions, more and more responsibility for productive performance falls directly on individual employees. Individuals need to be aware of their performance and the problems they are incurring in achieving their identified goals and objectives. The accountability for success or failure rests now more than ever on the individual or team's self-directed shoulders. It is this need to self direct, to SELF COACH, to take the ball and run with it, that not only highlights but makes critical, the concepts of the SOLVE process. In addition to corporate SELF COACHING, there has been and continues to be a dramatic increase in the number of part-time and full-time independent businesspeople who are wanting and willing to dedicate themselves to becoming successful. These individuals are committed to being responsible and accountable to themselves for their success in the business community. Because they have to look to themselves for answers to problems they are facing and issues that are confronting them, SELF COACHING using the SOLVE process is invaluable in their achieving the success they are pursuing. SELF COACHING provides just that, the ability to work through one's problems without needing anyone else to provide the direction, to provide the answers for you.

		SELF COACHING identifies the assets, strength, techniques and skills we possess in overcoming problems but somehow are overlooked when we become problem drenched.

		The goal of SELF COACHING is to have the SOLVE process become your personal problem resolution system that is always available to use at your discretion. You have the power and control to develop solutions for the problems you experience. SELF COACHING allows you to promote successful change.

	SELF COACHING, using the SOLVE process is an exclusive, uniquely created five-step model that identifies a workable problem solving system that will work in both your professional as well as your personal life. You will need to work through each step of the SOLVE process to successfully complete it. SELF COACHING identifies the ability that we, as individuals have, in finding and applying solutions to our life's problems. It is not just a process of hope; it is a process of DOING.

		The SOLVE process moves you from becoming aware of the problem, to developing a plan to modify or eliminate it and finally to the application of the plan, the doing part. This cannot be a haphazard process if it is to be successful. It is one thing to want life to change, for life to get better, it is quite another to make it happen.

		SELF COACHING is not designed to promote one time improvement. The SOLVE process is not based on luck and its success is not a fluke.

		Solutions to the problems you are now facing as you read these words, are already there waiting to be discovered and applied to the real world. The process is as follows:

		S tate the problem specifically
		O bserve the problem resolved
		L ist exceptions
		V erify the plan
		E xecute ... JUST DO IT !

	It is not that the SOLVE process will work on one problem and not another, on Tuesday and not Friday, instead the SOLVE process works ... Period! You need to understand that solutions will not appear by themselves. No way! You and the work, effort and energy you invest in developing them will be directly correlated to your success. You control the dividends from your investment. You have the power to make things happen. At this time you just do not know the process of how to get what you want to accomplish to happen. That is about to change. Forever! You are about to learn and most importantly understand the SOLVE process. SELF COACHING is a process that can be life changing because when it becomes part of your life it is a process that you then own. It is always available and although energy, effort, and commitment are needed, SELF COACHING remains ready to use for a lifetime.

		Also from a personal standpoint, SELF COACHING gives us personal empowerment in knowing that we can rely on ourselves for the answers to our continual problems. Knowing that by working through the SOLVE process, by following this problem solving system, we will be able to deal with the issues at hand.

		With so much going on in our daily lives, it becomes difficult to "pull up" the ability to consistently deal with our problems. Being able to do so and knowing we have this ability immediately reduces the personal anxiety, pressure and stress that we feel on an ongoing consistent basis.

	I have spent a lengthy, thought provoking amount of time developing what is felt to be a creative, productive, easy to use model that develops solutions to work related and personal problems. SELF COACHING is unique problem solving process built on the foundation of being solution focused rather than problem focused. This process consists of developing an awareness of what it is that we want to resolve, creating plans to make it happen and finally executing those plans that result in experiencing the solution.

		Individuals become empowered when they know how to go about resolving problems that previously just did not go away.

		Problems are no longer as scary and stressful since employees feel confident and self-assured that they will be able to SOLVE the issues they face.

		This feeling of competency comes from knowing that there will always be a next problem or issue and by using the SOLVE process you will be able to meet the challenge and move on.
