What is Appreciative Inquiry?
Appreciative Inquiry –Developed by David Cooperrider, PhD, is a positive strength-based approach to making change in organizations.  It includes co-creating inspiring images of what we want, and then building on positive aspects to make them happen. It’s about becoming more aware of our internal and external dialogues and intentionally shifting them to focus on our desired outcomes. It unleashes the positive potential within people and organizations through attention to the positive core.  

Isn’t this like putting on rose-colored glasses?
This work is NOT about ignoring or denying reality. We are so culturally focused on the negative that many of us cannot literally see the positive things right in front of us. One of the biggest misconceptions about it is that by cultivating gratitude and focusing on the positive in situations, it sounds like a Polly Anna approach. The truth is, it’s about learning to see the good things that truly exist  right alongside the bad. Ironically, the more you learn to see the good in yourself and your life or work circumstances, the more motivated and inspired you are to take responsibility to dive-in and work your problem areas for improvement. You actually learn to expand your view of reality, not cover it up.

What materials are used?
Each participant will receive a Participant Guidebook with readings, discussion questions and exercises.
 
One of the two books by Jackie Kelm, "The Joy of Appreciative Living, Your 28– Day Plan to Greater Happiness in 3 Incredibly Easy Steps", or " Appreciative Living: The Principles of Appreciative Inquiry in Personal Life"' will be a required read. They are an easy, enjoyable, and practical books to read to support you in your new journey.  They can be ordered at the bottom of this page.


What happens at each workshop?
You will learn the powerful concepts and how to put them into practice in your daily life. 
Practical time to share and support each other with practice using the techniques that will ground you.
 
Suggested exercises will be given with each course to help you “retrain your brain” in creating more effective thinking habits and to help integrate what you learn in the course. The Appreciative Living exercises only takes 5 minutes every weekday morning and 15 minutes every weekend, so even if you are a person with a hectic and busy schedule, this course will work for you !  
You will be assigned a 'Buddy' to practice with to help you dive deeper in your growth. This can be easily done over the phone. I found for myself that working on exercises with a partner helped me in my own transformation powerfully, as when 'there are 2 or more gathered' the 'magic' is intensified.  

How did Appreciative Living originate?
Appreciative Living is based on the research from Jackie Kelm, who with a group of over 70 people from across the world helped to design this program.  The first thing they did was create a united collective vision for Learning Circles, which is essentially about helping people create a more joyful life that would ripple out to the world.  While Learning Circles are powerful for personal change, they also help move us towards a more peaceful planet.  I am passionate about sharing these teachings with this workshop because it is my intent to give joy, self sufficiency, and empowerment back into the lives of people, as everyone was created with this birthright.

Who designed the the premise of this Appreciative Living?
 Jackie Kelm did the initial design based on her work with Appreciative Inquiry in combination with her extensive training and facilitation background. It was then reviewed and revised by more than 70 people from across the US and internationally in an extensive online collaborative process. The reviewers were from all walks of life with many being professional trainers and facilitators. After the design was finalized, it was piloted by several volunteers and the materials further improved over six more months, resulting in the stellar program available today.  

Cost?? This program is similar to what other companies charge thousands of dollars for and yet you can get it here, at a price affordable for all, so everyone can be included in tapping into and bringing out their positive, inherent resources and live a happy & peaceful life.
