I would have appreciated in inquiry into a different narrator

Interesting topic but not enough hands on tools. The narration was so mechanical it was distracting. It was like listening to a 1970s computer voice.

Appreciative Inquiry with renewed experiences

Would you listen to The Power of Appreciative Inquiry again? Why?

Yes - to renew knowledge and remind myself of why and how to use Appreciative Inquiry as approach to working life of organisations and people.Gives clear picture of Appreciative Inquiry as method and approach and offers basic structure and understanding of the strength based approach to organisations.

Would have appreciated more

Good overview of organizational change through positive questioning. Substance is lacking. Most strategy, vision and theory.

Great work

Loved the topic, just wish the voice was more captivating. Amazing book and helpful applications!

Wordy, boring and hard to listen to

What would have made The Power of Appreciative Inquiry better?

Shorten it. Use less BS words and make it easier to listen to. It could easily have been half the length

What was most disappointing about Diana Whitney and Amanda Trosten-Bloom ’s story?

Too many references to corporations. Got the feeling they were trying to build themselves. Took 2 cds to get into the training.

How could the performance have been better?

Much shorter and simpler.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Power of Appreciative Inquiry?

many words could have been removed.

Any additional comments?
