Outcome Frame vs Problem Frame

Problem frame: what's wrong, why, who's responsible, how long it has lasted. Outcome frame: what you want, how you'll know, what resources exist. Same situation, different physics.

Coaching's core move is the frame switch — not to ignore problems but to aim the nervous system at a target it can build. Solution-focused research supports the direction; the well-formed conditions make it rigorous.
