This document discusses appreciative leadership and positive change. It describes appreciative inquiry as a process for co-creativity that focuses on strengths rather than deficits. Appreciative leadership utilizes five relational strategies: inquiry, inclusion, illumination, inspiration, and integrity. The document provides examples of how leaders can apply these strategies, such as asking positively powerful questions, engaging diverse participants, identifying strengths, maintaining a positive ratio, and making choices for the whole. The overarching message is that appreciative leadership can mobilize creative potential and make a positive difference.

“Appreciative Inquiry is the cooperative search for the best in people, their organizations, and the world around them. It involves systematic discover of what gives a system ‘life’ when it is most effective and capable in economic, ecological, and human terms.” Cooperrider, D.L. & Whitney, D
It is a methodology aimed at the development of the organization based on the assumption that inquiry into and dialogue about strengths, successes, values, hopes and dreams is in itself transformational.
The process used to generate the power of Appreciative Inquiry is the 4-D Cycle:
Discovery - Dream - Design - Destiny
Discovery: The Discovery phase is a diligent and extensive search to understand the "best of what is" and "the best of what has been."
Dream: The Dream phase is an energizing exploration of "what might be:"
Design: The Design phase involves making choices about "what should be" within an organization or system.
Destiny: The Destiny phase initiates a series of inspired actions that support ongoing learning and innovation - or "what will be."
School leaders and teachers are searching for a purpose and a sense of identity. We want more than just pay; we want a ‘sense of mission’. When you believe in a professional way of doing your job you have to be able to transmit this to all the people involved in teaching/learning process.
The Appreciative Inquiry methodology helps to create our identity and to transmit our values and beliefs. Educational institutions need to be knowledge rich, adaptable and permanently changing. We need to be able to design curricula according to our student’s individual needs.

Leading positive and sustainable change
From cynicism and disillusionment to optimism and hope.
Experiencing Appreciative Inquiry tools and processes.
A presentation on Leading your Team to Greatness for the
Indiana Charter Schools Conference given by Dr. James Goenner of the National Charter Schools Institute.
These are the slides for Module 2 of the School for Health and Care Radicals.
A golden rule for change activists: You can’t be a radical on your own. This module gives you an understanding of the power of working together by exploring communities of practice and social movements. We identify techniques for connecting with our own and others values and emotions to create a call for action.
Agenda:
•Why we can’t be radicals on our own: building communities for change
–What is a community and how can you find power within communities?
•What can we learn from leaders of social movements?
–The power of one, the power of many
–Calls to action – what are they and how are they powerful?
–What are the characteristics of people or groups within effective social movements?
–How to create change at scale
–What is strategy in this context and how can we define resources?
•Effective framing: telling our stories
–What is framing?
–How to connect with people to take action – connecting with emotions through values
–Creating your narrative and the power of telling stories
•Bridging disconnected groups
–Strong vs. weak ties
•Building your own community
–Who are your communities?
–How to build new communities
•Questions and call to action
Questions for reflection from this module:
•What learning and inspiration can you take from social movement leaders to help you in your role as an agent of change in health and care?
•How will you attract the attention of the people you want to call to action?
•Who are the people who are currently disconnected that you want to unite in order to achieve your goal for change? How can you build a sense of “us” with them?
Call to action from this module:
•Identify which communities you are currently part of and how you can utilise your existing communities for change.
•Reflect on who else you would like to be part of your community for change and take action to connect with them.
•Create your narrative or “call to action” to win other people to your cause.
This keynote delivered in Arkansas at the TNT conference is a motivational approach of looking at change and technology from a classroom teacher who is collaborating globally and using many leading (and older) technology tools.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
