Have you ever wondered why problem solving skills rank among the top 3 skills sought after by both small and large scale enterprises?

Did you know that about 70 percent of the problems you are going to face in your workplace, at your job, in your business, at home, are going to be problems that you did not create?

In this episode, we are going to delve into the art of problem solving and I'm going to share with you two mistakes that most creatives make.

In my journey as a professional and as an entrepreneur, I've come to discover that some of the toughest problems to solve are problems that you did not create.

The best time to develop your problem solving skill was yesterday and if you want to become an effective problem solver, this is the episode you have been waiting for.


Key Takeaways:

  1. Understanding the Why: The episode emphasizes the importance of not rushing into problem-solving without understanding why the problem exists in the first place. By grasping the root cause, you unlock creative solutions that truly make a difference in your workplace, business, or personal life.
  2. Articulating Your Value: Learn from biblical examples and real-world scenarios how articulating the value you bring to problem-solving is crucial. Discover why being able to answer, \"What's in it for me?\" is a powerful motivator and a key factor in getting recognized, rewarded, and remembered.
  3. Negotiating Your Worth: Avoid the mistake of the 'poor wise man' who solved a city's problem but was forgotten. Explore the art of negotiation and discover how to amplify the significance of your solutions, ensuring that your contributions are not only acknowledged but celebrated.
  4. Choosing the Right Approach: By understanding the 'why' behind a problem, you're better equipped to choose the right approach. Learn how this step prevents the common pitfall of applying quick fixes or shortcuts, ultimately leading to long-lasting, effective solutions.


I encourage you to apply these principles in your professional journeys, ensuring you not only solve problems effectively but also reap the recognition and rewards you rightfully deserve.
