I am helping to organize an outstanding workshop here in Seattle on
Appreciative Inquiry, led by well known experts, to be offered at the
University of Washington in October. I believe your list readers would be
interested in knowing about this session. I am pasting a brief description
below. If possible, please post this information. I will also attach a more
detailed description that includes a registration form, in case you can make
use of a lengthier description. Please advise how to proceed.

APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY:
Theory, Practice and the Emerging Paradigm
October 17-22, 1999, Seattle, Washington
Workshop Leaders:
Bernard Mohr & Barbara Sloan
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Develop skill in one of the newest approaches in cutting edge organizational
performance and learning. Appreciative Inquiry is a wellness model that
helps organizations to bring about their desired future by identifying the
core factors needed, next by discovering and appreciating all of the elements
that support those factors, and then by fostering creative ways to make those
factors even more prevalent. This powerful process of Appreciative Inquiry
supports and energizes organizations in transforming themselves. Consultants
and Organizational Leaders will learn how to apply the Appreciative Inquiry
approach to organizational performance and learning in their practice and
organizations in this comprehensive, hands-on workshop. Come study this
exciting new paradigm with master practitioners.
Barbara Sloan and Bernard Mohr have facilitated this workshop over the past
five years and have developed an experience based model that prepares
consultants to work with AI in client systems and shows organizational
leaders and managers how to use AI for working with organization change.
Mohr's book Appreciative Inquiry: Change at the Speed of Imagination,
co-authored with Jane Magruder Watkins, will be published next fall, 2000 by
Jossey-Bass.
This six day intensive training will be help on the campus of the University
of Washington in Seattle. The $1500 fee ($1350 early bird) includes
breakfast, lunch, snacks and two dinners. (Inquire about non-profit, student
or multiple registrant discounts.) We hope you will join us and pass this
information along to friends and colleagues who might be interested! We'll
see you in Seattle!
