Tired of leading where no one wants to go?
This workshop will help.
You'll learn and practice a proven change strategy called appreciative inquiry Through this strategy you'll discover the core values of your congregation and learn how to build on them to effect constructive change.
During this workshop we'll pretend we're in the same congregation so we can practice moving through the four stages of the appreciative inquiry strategy; Initiate, Inquire, Imagine and Innovate.
​
Initiate: We'll learn the principles behind appreciative inquiry and begin to put them into use!
​
Inquire: Then we'll begin our inquiry by interviewing each other. The questions we'll use will help us learn about what matters most to the people in the group (the pretend congregation).
Imagine: Next, we'll build on these values to get a vision of a feasible future for the group.
​
Innovate: With that vision in mind, we'll decide what the first faithful step forward would be and design an innovation that starts the group on that journey. The innovation won't be anything huge, just the next step.
