How Coaching Works: Practical use of Appreciative Inquiry
Tell me about your day yesterday. Really - take a moment
and write down what happened yesterday. I'll be here when
you are finished...
Keep writing....
Now, tell me about the best part of your day yesterday. Write
about your best memory of yesterday.
Keep writing...
Next, take a look at both of your responses. What do you
notice? What are the differences between the two?
If you are like most of us, your first answer was a list focused on
the craziness of the day - a hurried, breathtakingly-busy list
which included highlights of the annoying or frustrating
elements. The first answer usually includes information, but not
details, about the day.
