Living Appreciatively Seeing the Positive in Life

Discover the delights of Appreciative Inquiry! Join Dr. Jill Greenbaum to explore a new lens for viewing all the parts of your world. Learn the five principles of AI and begin to apply them to your life—both work and personal—immediately. In this interactive session, be ready to engage with the work and play of seeing yourself, others, projects, and situations differently. We’ll also engage in visual storytelling with an appreciative eye. (No worries if you feel you have beginner drawing skills—this is more about the essence of your story.) You will walk away from our time together with a new model for experiencing the world and new skills that you can use every day!

Here’s a suggestion for what to have on hand: a black permanent-ink marker, some light/highlighter markers, and printer paper for note-making and perhaps a wee bit of drawing.
