“Dreamwork is what makes the teamwork,” says Anton Stellamans in his marvellous welcome to the 2025 SOLWorld Conference in Mechelen.

It began two years ago in Vienna, when the organisers first dreamt of what SOLWorld 2025 could be. Their dreams took shape, and what dreams they were, in a gathering full of warmth, insight and inspiration.

SFiO is delighted to share Anton’s warm introduction in InterAction.

Whether you were part of the magic in Mechelen or not, we invite you to watch or listen in. You’ll experience the heartfelt rituals, the rich sense of continuity, the thoughtful inclusivity, and the sheer delight that marked the start of the conference. It’s a masterclass in setting the tone for “good company”.

If you were there, let it spark fond memories. If you missed it, here’s your chance to catch the spirit. You can see all SOLWorld 2025 features in the 2025 collection: https://www.sfio.org/interaction-collection/

Introduction to SOLWorld 2025

In this compelling and practical session, Andrew Gibson shares the remarkable story of how Solution Focused Practice (SFP) is driving culture change in one Trust of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).

Working with a Mental Health and Community Care Trust, Andrew has introduced SFP not just as a coaching tool, but as a whole-organisation approach. The result? Improved productivity, boosted team morale—and, most importantly—better care for clients and patients.

What you’ll take away:
	•	A practical organisational model of SFP that’s shifting mindsets and creating lasting change
	•	Real evidence—both numbers and stories—showing the impact of this approach
	•	Ideas for how SFP practitioners around the world can engage with large institutions to spark meaningful change

Format:
This is an inspiring talk, brought to life with real-world stories and a clear, actionable presentation. It’s relevant for anyone using SFP in organisations, especially in health and care systems—but the lessons are transferable across sectors and countries.

Whether you’re a consultant, trainer, or simply curious about scaling positive change—this session offers insight, hope, and a practical path forward.
