CONVERSATION IS AT THE HEART OF ALL WELLBEING WORK AND THE NATURE OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS AFFECT CLIENT OUTCOMES. Based on Berrett-Koehler’s bestseller, Conversations Worth Having: Using Appreciative Inquiry to Fuel Productive and Meaningful Engagement, this book focuses on the kinds of conversations clinicians, case workers, coaches, and other wellbeing professionals have with clients. Our approach is grounded in emerging research in positive psychology, neuropsychology, mindfulness, and post-traumatic growth. Drawing upon decades of experience in the field, we illustrate the power of using two simple Appreciative Inquiry practices - generative questions and positive framing - to foster conversations worth having in any situation. If you’re looking to deepen your strengths-based practices and enhance compassion satisfaction, a primary protective factor in guarding against burnout, this book is a must read.
