🎙️ Toward Solutions Podcast | Episode 9: Glimmers, Practice, and Possibility with Victoria Spatchenko

In this thought provoking, confronting and practical episode, we are privileged to speak with Victoria Spatchenko — intercultural coach, trainer, and author — about the power of small shifts, daily practices, and what it means to live a Solution Focused life.

Drawing on years of work with educators, businesses and public service, Victoria shares how the Solution Focused approach shapes her conversations, her mindset, and her way of being. From coaching and facilitation to national mental health programs, she reflects on how the language of strength, progress, and potential can quietly transform how we work and connect with others.

We explore:

• How Solution Focused principles can show up in journalism, education, and national wellbeing programs
• What it means to practise “glimmering” — and how to train your attention toward moments of hope and connection
• The difference between using Solution Focused tools and embodying a Solution Focused stance
• Why pausing to notice strengths can lead to better decisions and braver actions
• How everyday conversations can become spaces for presence, perspective, and possibility

This conversation is full of practical ideas and grounded wisdom — offering a clear example of how Solution Focused practice can be lived, shared, and sustained over time.
