INCREASE ENGAGEMENT IN APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY FACILITATED MEETINGS
New and inspiring images stimulate us to make small changes that align with our desired future. Combining visuals with the facilitated Appreciative Inquiry (AI) process increases participant engagement in meetings through a shared vision of understanding — not to mention, enjoyment! Whether you are an AI Facilitator who wants to add visuals to your toolbox or an experienced Visual Practitioner who wants to integrate AI into your work, the combination of the two offer a rich, interactive environment for both online or in-person meetings.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This virtual series is designed to give you a variety of visual tools, templates and exercises that align with each step of the Appreciative Inquiry 5D Framework: Define, Discover, Dream, Design, and Destiny/Deliver. Following the framework, you will be provided visual template you may customize to use as facilitation tools designed to meet your clients’ desired outcomes. We will explore these complimentary approaches with others in the AI and/or visual field to deepen your understanding and bring value to your projects.
During the course, you will have the opportunity to experience the process first-hand and receive tips and insights to apply to your facilitative practice. You do not need to know how to draw or be a certified AI facilitator or coach to enroll in the course.
This course will introduce several ways to make meetings visual without drawing live in front of your client. Regardless of your skill level, your interest and passion will drive your curiosity. Together we will dive deep into the value of visuals in AI facilitated meetings.

This virtual series is ideal for:
- AI Facilitators or meeting organizers who want to add visuals to their toolbox

TRAINING SESSIONS
The Appreciative Inquiry + Visuals = Meeting Design consists of four (4) virtual sessions. Each session offers a new library of resources to support your visual Appreciative Inquiry facilitation efforts.
SESSION 1: DEFINE & DISCOVER
In the first session, participants will discover how visuals and AI can be used to visually facilitate a discovery meeting with a client. There will be prework for this session so that you can start integrating what you learn right away.
SESSION 2: DREAM
Together we will leverage a series of visual templates to dream about the common desired outcomes of meetings and what you would like to gain out of the course.
SESSION 3: DESIGN
Co-creation is key! We will custom design visual templates based on the AI questions we develop to engage participants. These will be shared to increase our library of resources.
SESSION 4: DESTINY/DELIVER
There are many analog and digital visual tools used to support meaningful conversations. In this last session, we will determine the appropriate tool for the job based on efficacy and your comfort level. Additional resources will be shared should you want to expand your AI + Visuals practice.
SNEAK PEAK SESSION
In addition to these live sessions, free sneak peak sessions and open office hours will be offered so that you can see how meeting agendas are visualized in real-time.
