Simple but Effective way to deal with people.
Prior to ordering the book I had a very challenging student to deal with. It was what I needed to read to reach him. This book challenges me as a school counselor to speaking with my students about what they CAN do rather than how they messed up. It is more about what they can do that what they have done wrong. It is about the successes they have had in the past. I recommend it to any practitioner who is interested in moving forward with their clients/students verses dwelling in the past.
