About this listen

In this playful and precise episode of the Towards Solutions podcast, we sit down with Paul Z. Jackson — author, improviser, and co-creator of The Solutions Focus — to explore what it means to build on what’s working and invite change through conversation.

From his roots in journalism and theatre to decades of coaching and consulting, Paul brings a rare blend of performance, clarity, and practical insight. Together, we dive into:

  • The power of saying “yes, and…” — and why improvisation matters in leadership and coaching
  • How lightness, precision, and curiosity can turn any moment into a chance for movement
  • The discipline of noticing — and how to work with what’s already present
  • What Solution Focused practice offers when we resist the urge to solve and instead choose to build

Paul reminds us that transformative conversations don’t need to be dramatic — they just need to start from where you are, with what you have.

Whether you’re coaching a team, leading through uncertainty, or simply wanting better conversations, this episode offers clarity, humour, and plenty of moments that will stay with you.
