SOCS
•Situation - What is the problem area, stated in realistic (objective) terms?
•Options - What choices do I have; good and bad/positive and negative?
•Consequences - Which of my choices will hurt either me or someone else. Cross them out of your list.
•Solution – Solutions will come from the choices you have left, after the consequences have been
removed.
