Appreciative Ripple
We use Appreciative Facilitation and Coaching to initiate and propagate mindset and behavior changes that have a positive ripple effect. Our main methodology is Appreciative Inquiry, which is the study of what is best in people.(1)
We facilitate groups that may go from a few dozen to hundreds or even thousands of people. We also coach individuals and small groups.
Our favorite definition for facilitation:
Ease and accelerate the collective learning
Our favorite definition for coaching comes from Robert Holden:
"the opportunity to get into important conversations you would otherwise have been too busy to have."(2)
In some ways, Holden's coaching definition could also be applied to facilitation, that is, facilitation is the opportunity to get into important collective conversations that the group would otherwise have been too busy to have.
Here is an example of engagement:
honoring our past
leveraging our strengths
envisioning our future
clarifying what actions and habits will get us the results we want
taking actions
cultivating selected habits
overcoming obstacles
letting go of limiting beliefs
delivering results
celebrating progress and accomplishments
Appreciative Project Management comes as companion in this process to take us from thoughts to results.
We re-learn to live in the now. Breathing. Observing our thoughts, emotions, and surroundings. Being on purpose. Living by our values. Transforming our patterns in consciousness. Directing our inner dialogue. Awakening. Expanding. Being ourselves. Owning our Power. Manifesting our dreams.
