Appreciative Inquiry is a proven method for use in meetings, to overcome challenges, to resolve challenges, and achieve goals. Participants learn to draw on what has, is, and can be most successful and highest vision.

Why Should You Attend?
We all fall into conditioned responses in general communication and when we are either trying to solve a problem, innovate or improve relationships and circumstances. Often our thought patterns are focused on what could go wrong, or what has failed, in the past. This need not be the only way to approach communication and reasoning. In fact, this is the least efficient and effective way to create or improve anything.
You should attend this presentation because the information in it demonstrates a proven, intentional approach you and many others may have never heard about, learned or considered. You learn a fun, proven method for improving relationships, creating intense positive connections, and caring community. You also learn to overcome challenges (and help others do the same) by drawing on what is most inspiring from what has, is, and can work at its best. You should attend this presentation if you want a more efficient, easy, and positive way to bring about needed growth and change.
