Hi Audrey - thanks for posting and very good to hear from you. I'd love to hear more about how you organise yourselves and what topics you share experiences around. I remember when the SolutionSurfers training was about to happen and hoped it might lead to something significant and community building - and it has! Which is to your and everyone else credit. I remember you too from SOLWorld. I hope to continue the conversations in Stockholm later this year. Best wishes to you all.

Greetings from Uganda, Kampala! A coaching Community was formed in Uganda (CCU) after being introduced to Solution Focused coaching by Peter Szabo. We share our experiences and insights every first wednesday of the month except in December for obvious reasons. We have been represented in three SOLWORLD conferences and will be there in September 2014. This connection is very powerful and cannot be traded for anything. More sharing in Sweden.

Welcome to Brian Keith Jenkins who is located in Ghana. Thanks for joining the SOLWorld Africa group. This group has been pretty quiet for a while - however, the next 6 months I'll be contacting members again actively inviting you to post some progress stories and success stories about your Solution-focused Brief Thinking and Practice as it is showing in Africa.

EBTA conference is about to take place in Poland. And there is talk of creating some kind of body at which national associations are represented. Are there any African nations with national bodies for SF or SFB? If yes, please post where and who to contact.

I'd like to imagine that our voices and contributions will be welcomed at EBTA if it emerges in a re-structured form and / or in any new international organisation formed via national associations.

Is it time to develop a South African national association for SF(B)?

Please post your thoughts. Tx svea

Well, it has been some time since I posted but, better sometime than never! At the recent SOL conference in Oxford I was privileged to talk with 2 women from Uganda who stood out for their incisive questions and comments about the intircacies of the langauge that is core to SF. We discovered we'd all participated in the SolutionSurfers Brief Coaching programme - and we were hearing it in each others language!

Anyone else got a story about making connections via hearing a familiar way of speaking?

The diary project initiated by Gale Miller at the Malmo SFBT&P Summit in May 2010 is quietly gaining momentum here in South Africa. I am steadily conducting a snowball of conversations with people using SFB thinking and practice in their work. And, to spread the range and gather more contributions quickly, I have composed a set of questions that you can respond to, and then e-mail back to me.

This project is about locating SFB thought and practice in time and space as a way of developing a picture of how SFB thought and practice is manifesting in 2010.

hello and welcome Madi. Good to speak with you recently. The book is about to leave Cape Town to be on its way to you. Happy reading. Would be interested to hear your comments about the two books by Peter Szabo - the earlier and longer blue book with Insoo and the more recent slimmer one with Daniel. Best wishes, Svea
