Developing problem-solving skills

Push yourself to the edge

When we push ourselves to the limits of our ability, we take a risk. We may fail. That’s OK, it has simply shown that we have gone further than our level of competence for the moment and is giving us the opportunity to learn a bit more.

Developing problem-solving skills

Draw a diagram of the problem

Get a sheet of paper and draw a diagram or picture of the issue. It will tap into your creative thinking mode and allow you to see it in a different way. Use colors to illustrate the different aspects of the problem.

Developing problem-solving skills

Break it up

When a problem seems large and overwhelming, take heart in the knowledge that you don’t need to deal with it all at once. You can break it up into bite-sized chunks, separating it into its different
components, and tackle them one at a time.
