Think of a life problem you have experienced and try to find a solution to it.

Think of problem solving as a process with four P’s:

Define the Problem: What is the problem? Tell the truth about what is present in your life without shame or blame.

Generate Possibilities: What if there are several possible solutions? Have an open mind and put on your creative thinking cap. Brainstorm as many possible solutions to the problem as you can. At this stage, quantity counts.

 Plan out: How would this possible solution work? Choose the solution that seems most realistic. Gather relevant facts to help you choose.

Perform your plan: Why is this solution more feasible than another? This step is a call to action where you can start to apply what you have planned. Through the quality of your actions, you become the architect of your own success.
