How To Solve Problems Fast at Work and In Life

How to solve problems fast at work and in life. When I was living and working in Sydney Australia, as a sales manager many years ago, I had a very interesting experience. It stuck with me and I now have it on top of my mind, most of the time.

It has really assisted me with my success of how to solve problems fast at work and in life.

I woke up one morning, covered in red blotches, and I was scratching my skin like crazy.

I quickly made an appointment with the Doctor to diagnose what was going on with my skin. It was so annoying.

The Doctor told me that I had Scabies (a human itch mite) which was irritating my skin.

The solution to his diagnosis was to wash all my bedclothes and all the clothes in my wardrobe. Then shower and cover my entire body with a special solution he gave me to kill the infestation of Scabies.

I repeated this process for a number of days just to make sure I killed them all. The problem was that I was still scratching like crazy. It just did not appear to be working.

In frustration, I went back to the same Doctor and he told me to continue the process.’

Still, with no relief, I resorted to visiting a different Doctor to get another diagnosis. Same diagnosis, Scabies, keep washing clothes and cleaning the skin.

I was so frustrated as I could not get any relief from the skin irritation despite cleaning my clothes and skin every day.

With increased irritation and desperation, I continued to get other opinions from different Doctors. All to no avail.

Then one afternoon I was making a call to a customer and right next door there was a Medical Clinic. I poked my head inside the door and asked if there were any available appointments. I was in luck, I got an appointment.

My Big Awareness.

I sat down in front of the Doctor and explained what had been happening over the last few weeks and how frustrated and annoyed I was about the whole situation. I just could not get any relief or respite from this skin irritation.

He continued to ask me many questions about my habits, food, lifestyle, and movements since the irritation started.

Then he asked me a very interesting question.

Have you changed your personal hygiene products, soaps, or detergents in the house recently?

No, nothing like that, that I can remember, I said. Then I remembered my girlfriend at the time bought a new washing machine. So I mentioned the new washing machine to the Doctor but thought to myself, that can’t be the problem.

Then he asked me, did you get complimentary washing powder with their new washing machine? Yes, I blurted out, a big 5-kilo bag of FREE washing powder!

I bet, the doctor said, that the FREE washing powder is a low-grade, inferior-quality washing powder, which is more than likely irritating your skin.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

My BIG awareness was to spend more time on the diagnosis (finding the real cause of the problem) before applying any solution.

How to Solve Problems Fast at Work and Life

This irritating lesson that I learned has been absolutely magical for me in my life since that experience, many years ago. Even though it was painful at the time, it created a program within me to focus on the cause of the problem and stay there until I have absolutely nailed the correct diagnosis.

If you don’t get the exact, correct, cause of the problem, you will be applying a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist, now that’s madness.

Each cause requires a specific solution, identifying the correct cause will allow you to apply the correct solution (which also needs careful attention) and have the problem resolve itself and disappear.

We need to identify the CORRECT CAUSE and apply the RIGHT SOLUTION.

In my Executive Coaching Service, I will spend as long as it takes listening to my clients. Asking questions and exploring all options, without jumping to conclusions, before diagnosing a cause.

I will leave the conversation and reflect on our session overnight, going deeper, to ensure I get to the root cause of their problem or challenge.

Then I will identify the BEST solution based on my years of experience and results of working with hundreds of clients delivering quick and permanent results.

This is how I’m able to get quick, painless, lasting, and permanent results with all those I work with. Don’t take my word for it, hear and read the testimonials of clients, have to say about their transformations.

If you are currently working on a challenge or problem and you can’t resolve it, it’s been hanging on for too long, you just may have identified the wrong cause and this is why the solution is not working.

Alternatively, the solution you are applying just ain’t the right one.

Once we identify the real cause of the problem and apply the correct solution, the rest is easy.
