Books

As authors, we come to our work with an abundant view of the world and the possibilities around us. We reflect on the field of appreciative inquiry through prose, research, case studies, poetry and story in order to provide practitioners and organizations with the tools and skills they need to undertake positive work in the world.

Working with Joan was definitely a highlight for me. I appreciate her stories, her heart, her experience, and her substance.

A transformative experience that was rich with theory, practice and narratives. I loved every minute! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for innovation and sustainable change.

The three day Advanced AI Workshop with Joan and Jeanie has been the most transformative, relevant and useful professional development I have taken in my career as a post-secondary administrator. brava

A renewed sense of hope, personally and professionally. A promise of magic.

Joan and Jeanie’s workshop is thought provoking and inspiring AND can change the world, one design at a time!

Joan and Jeanie have provided the most enriching and rewarding professional development opportunities of my career. I have had the chance to not only learn from them but also to work collaboratively on projects involving youth. Using their unique Appreciative Inquiry approach, Joan and Jeanie are able to capture current success and grow it into potential beyond expectation.

Appreciative Inquiry is a powerful way to bring a team together, to solve problems, innovate and improve teamwork. Jeanie and Joan are masterful in leading this process.
