If you’re stuck in your marketing and you aren’t sure how to get unstuck then this episode is for you. We’re going to use ten different types of problem solving techniques, that you can use in any area of your life or business, to help unscramble the problem, work out “what’s really going on here” and find some options to move you from freeze or flee, and into taking action

Problem solving can help you shift your thinking, make you feel more confident in decision making, help you work out what help you need, and recognise both the current state and the gaps.

Before I was a marketer, before I was a content creator, before I was an ECE facilitator, and author… all of those things I was a primary teacher. We’re covering the ten tools I learnt when I was training to be a teacher,  many of which I have used through every career as needed to help me get myself out of a stuck  loop of thinking.

I can get anxious. I can get paralysed, and sometimes I want to quit before pushing through. I think most of us are like that.

I’ve learned to use these techniques to break out of it - even if I sometimes eye roll when someone suggests the one I really need, that I’m studiously avoiding.

Have a listen, try one or two out on a sticky situation of your own and make notes for the next time it’s just you, the problem and a big block between you and the solution.

In this episode we cover:
Why we get stuck
How we can use problem solving to proactively pull ourselves out
What my favourite problem solving techniques are
The ten best problem solving techniques you can use 
Real life examples of how these problem solving techniques can work in marketing, and in small business
