🎙️ Power of Peacefulness Podcast
Episode Title: Getting to the Root: Mastering Root Cause Analysis Techniques

Welcome to the Power of Peacefulness podcast, a space created for professional women to explore what it means to cultivate inner peace—personally and professionally. Through conversations about career, relationships, and self-growth, we deliver practical wisdom and encouragement to help you lead a more fulfilling life.

Episode Summary:
Ever feel like you're solving the same problem over and over again, only for it to resurface later—just in a different form? In today’s episode, we dive into Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and how shifting from reactive problem-solving to proactive thinking can lead to lasting solutions and greater peace of mind.

We explore powerful techniques like:

  • 5 Whys – A simple yet revealing method for drilling down to the core issue.

  • Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagram – A visual map to brainstorm and categorize causes.

  • FMEA & FTA – Structured, data-driven approaches used in high-risk industries.

  • Pareto Analysis, Change Analysis, A3, PDCA, DMAIC, and TRIZ – Techniques to help you solve problems systematically, creatively, and sustainably.

Whether you're leading a team, managing a project, or simply want to stop spinning your wheels in your daily life—this episode will show you how RCA can help uncover the real “why” and empower smarter decisions.

Takeaways from this Episode:
✅ RCA is more than a tool—it's a mindset shift.
✅ There’s no one-size-fits-all solution—match the method to the situation.
✅ You don’t need to fix the same problem over and over again—you can build systems that prevent it.
✅ From simple tools to robust frameworks, RCA gives you clarity, direction, and peace.
