Despite our best efforts at being proactive
and avoiding problems by practicing Choice Theory, Lead
Management and/or Quality
School ideas and strategies, there will be times when we
will have conflicts or problems in our personal and professional
lives. Reality Therapy can help us help ourselves or others
gain more effective control over ourselves in almost any
situation.
Reality Therapy is a method
of counseling / problem-solving, based on Choice Theory
which is aimed at helping people gain more effective control
over their lives. It is an approach that has been proven
effective in counseling, parenting, education, leadership,
and management. Key components in the Reality Therapy process
involve helping people (ourselves included):
- Take an honest look at both
what they want and what they are doing to get what they
want.
- Evaluate the effectiveness
of what they are doing.
- Use this self-evaluation as
a springboard for positive personal change.
Reality Therapy can be used by individuals,
by groups, even by organizations to solve problems, to plan,
and to improve. The next page has a more detailed explanation
of the process of Reality Therapy.
