I’m proud to share that the November 2024 edition of AI Practitioner magazine includes a rave review of my book Practical Appreciative Inquiry: How to Use This Leading-Edge Coaching Method Confidently with Teams and Small Groups!
The review, by registered psychologist and Appreciative Dialogue practitioner Keith Storace, is full of praise for the book:
- “a thoughtfully written guide that offers an enriching approach to fostering change”
- “The author’s approach moves the reader beyond academic abstractions to present a structured, hands-on approach.”
- “By grounding ideas in research about how positive emotions affect the brain, the book offers unique reasoning for the effectiveness of focusing on strengths. This is not just a feel-good approach; it aligns with how our minds work best, and the discussion of neuroscience never feels heavy-handed.”
- “The writing transcends the procedural, breathing life into the process of change with a focus on human stories and their power to reshape perspectives.”
- “Practical Appreciative Inquiry makes change feel possible, even in the most entrenched environments. It captures the magic that occurs when teams begin to see themselves through a new lens – one that highlights their achievements, strengths and capacity for growth.”
- “a book that is as enlightening as it is practical – one that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who is committed to positive change”
