What Is The Solution Shift?

How to Stay Positive

One of Dr. Baker Schena’s strategies she shares is the ability to stay positive in the midst of great challenges — from workplace issues to health concerns to personal relationships. In her coaching and speaking, she incorporates what she terms “The Solution Shift” — coping with life’s challenges from a position of power rather than weakness.

The Solution Shift involves shifting from a problem-oriented mindset to a solution-oriented approach. Instead of living and wallowing in the problem, individuals spend their time and energy identifying and implementing solutions. It shifts people from victim to empowered and brings them from the darkness to the light.
