I have the opportunity to train and coach people on problem solving with some regularity. In fact, we recently built a one day customized problem solving and decision making workshop for one of our great Canadian Clients, OPTI Canada.
In the workshop we talked about a problem solving mindset, what gets in our way, a problem solving process, and much more.
Nothing we taught could be any more powerful than this quotation from Norman Vincent Peale,
"Believe it is possible to solve your problem. Tremendous things happen to the believer. So believe the answer will come. It will."
An open mind, a clear problem statement, the right people involved, and a good problem solving process are all important.
But always remember to start with the belief that the problem can and will be solved.

Exactly! Doctors call it "The Doctrine of Curative Intent." They begin treating a patient, even one with a catastrophic illness such as cancer, with the belief that they are going to cure the patient. It's not a question of "if," it's only a question of "how."

Problem solving skills are very necessary and helpful to us and other, I still remember in childhood, I was in 7th standard then I got my ring got stuck in my finger and everyone tried to relief me but got fail. One of neighbour took ring out from my finger and till not I remembered him and that moment and I am very thankful to him, there are many things generating problems but person like him still in this world and no one know when he/she will be a problem solver.
