Sara L. Orem, Ph.D, is co-auther of "Appreciative Coaching", and will join us in a discussion on appreciative feedback; in her own words: "Leaders need feedback. Most of us fear feedback as potentially negative, that is- as personal bad news. The appreciative approach to feedback is twofold. First it focuses on what the leader already does well. Second, it is honest. So how can feedback be both positive and honest? Appreciative feedback asks the leader to leverage her strengths, values, and purpose toward change--her own and her organization's. When the leader also has unhelpful, or even potentially destructive behavior, appreciative feedback refocuses energy on strengths,skills, talents and experience--and finally, leverages the strengths of the leader's team (among whom missing skills can be found). Sara will share her experience with leaders using this appreciative approach to feedback."

This segment will introduce the basic elements of Appreciative Inquiry which is a method of generating change by focusing on past success to reshape the future. Appreciative Inquiry (AI)mobilizes strategic change by the discovery of the core strengths of an organization, team, or individuals as leader or follower. AI begins with exploring the positive core of an organization (or a person) and then links this knowledge to the heart of a strategic change agenda. AI is both a high participation learning process to identify and disseminate best practices, and a way of managing and working that fosters positive communication that results in improved performance and the formation of deep and effective professional and personal relationships.
