The 5-Minute Conversation That Changes Everything
For most health professionals, better outcomes depend on patients engaging and adhering to prescribed health regimens.
But who doesn’t struggle to “get” or “make” patients do what they should to improve health and extend healthspan?
Most conversations begin by identifying the problem—what’s wrong, what isn’t working, what needs fixing. It seems logical. And it’s how most professionals were trained.
Unfortunately, when it comes to human behavior, starting with problems leads to explanations and insights—but not necessarily progress.
Sifting through why and how people failed to initiate, follow through, or stick to healthy practices can backfire because it can discourage patients, inadvertently shift responsibility for change onto the professional, and contribute to attrition and dropouts.
Here’s a solution that may surprise you: If you want to increase patient engagement and adherence, don’t start with the problem . . . and don’t start with plans, strategies, or small steps, either.
This isn’t theoretical. It reflects conclusions drawn from decades of rigorous research underlying the Solution-Focused approach.
This evidence-based approach to change is one most professionals were never trained to use, but it offers an alternative that works, and works quickly.
In this short, high-impact session, you’ll learn about the Solution-Focused approach and watch a live demo that gives you a taste of how and why it works so well and so quickly . . . without having to persuade, convince, or cajole.

"I loved witnessing the state change in the demo. When the focus shifted from problems to what was working, there was this upward spiral in the energy of the conversation. You could feel the lift. It was completely different from the usual downward spiral that happens when we dissect problems. It just felt… energizing." — Anna K. Health Provider
