Problem Solving | Episode 11 | Back 2 GoOD

In this episode, Fred and I reconnect after a brief pause and dig into one of life’s most universal challenges: problem solving. We unpack why perspective matters, how clarity can shift the way we view obstacles, and what it means to show up with wisdom and humility when faced with the unexpected. From unmet expectations to relational tension, we reflect on how the best solutions start by identifying our role, aligning our mindset, and staying anchored in our purpose. Most importantly, we return to the source—seeking God’s wisdom as our guide through any challenge. 💬 Whether you're leading a team, managing a transition, or navigating personal struggles, this conversation offers a grounded, practical lens for tackling problems and honoring people. 📝 Full episode notes + bonus resource available here: https://thefoundationalcoachingvault.substack.com/p/back-2-good-problem-solving?r=2rfylw 🔗 Stay connected here: https://www.foundational-coaching.com/the-vault Foundational Coaching® Empowering Culture.
