  Developing Your Appreciative Intelligence® for Well-Being

  Appreciative Intelligence® is the ability to reframe and see the generative potential in a challenging situation and to engage in purposive action to transform the potential to positive outcomes.  Most of our leaders today are engaged in continuous problem solving and crisis management. Over a period, the firefighting mind-set traps them to a path of a single-trajectory deficit mindset.  As leaders they end up spending most of their time attending to what is missing and what is wrong. This session will help the audience cultivate a sense of wellbeing by developing their Appreciative Intelligence®.  They will learn a few tools that they can use to reframe typical challenges in their organizational context and sharpen their well-being capabilities.
