“It is instructive to consider that the word ‘health’ in English is based on an Anglo-Saxon word ‘hale’ meaning ‘whole’: that is, to be healthy is to be whole. . . All of this indicates that man has sensed always that wholeness or integrity is an absolute necessity to make life worth living.”
David Bohm
In organizations across government, non-profit, and the private sector there are signs of change. The literature is beginning to reflect some of the new habits of mind, heart, and imagination —Total Quality Management, a learning organization, and valuing diversity.
Appreciative Inquiry as a system of thought is based on social science research that affirms these trends and movements by demonstrating the power of generative images to create a world of hope and possibility. This is not about denying the negative and destructive. It is, rather, about focusing on the positive and creative as a force for building a more positive future.
The seminar is taught in small and large groups. For more information on dates and timings please contact a location near you.
