Appreciative Inquiry:
Optimizing Strengths in Conversations, Consulting, and Coaching

Marge Schiller, PhD

We find what we seek. Therefore when our search is for the strong and good and our questions reflect that quest, we can extend and elevate the best of who an individual or organization is. However, so many of our methods automatically search for any problem that exists, work toward fixing that problem, often leading to finding more problems. Appreciative Inquiry, an approach initially developed to help organizations change, is based upon the belief that change follows the direction of inquiry. This session will present an introduction to Appreciative Inquiry and its applications as well as demonstrate its use. Learn how appreciating what is best can help build a future where the best becomes more common.
