It builds new skills in individuals and groups\, develops new leaders\, encourages a culture of inquiry\, and helps create shared vision and purpose by building on an organization’s core values and strengths.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nHYBRID IN-PERSON AIFT PROGRAM OVERVIEW:\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1700858122324{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]The Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator Training (AIFT) is a foundational program designed to teach you how to facilitate the type of transformative change made possible through Appreciative Inquiry. In addition to introducing the basic tenets of Appreciative Inquiry (e.g.\, principles\, 5-Ds\, and theory)\, the AIFT delves deeper by providing experiential exercises that will teach you how to work with core teams\, define a topic of inquiry\, craft generative questions\, field test interview protocols\, establish action items\, and more.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1705703016189{margin-top: -20px !important;}”]This hybrid AIFT certification program is comprised of synchronous and asynchronous learning. We will be using a learning management system (LMS) called LearnDash for the asynchronous portion and in-person synchronous sessions.

I am leaving armed with new skills and an important reminder that how I “show up” in any given moment significantly influences the destiny of my work\, and that of my clients.”[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]– C.

SUMMARY:Strategic Conversations Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nStrategic Conversations Bootcamp Event Schedule\n\n    SESSION 1 SESSION 2 TUESDAYApril 30\, 2024  THURSDAYMay 2\, 2024 12:00pm-2:30pm ET 9:00am-11:30am PT  12:00pm-2:30pm ET 9:00am-11:30am PT  \n\nPlease note: ALL virtual sessions for the will be recorded and saved for participants who are unable to attend a scheduled webinar. Links to the recordings will be provided so that participants can view/listen to the recording at a time that works best for them. \nFoster Whole System Strategic Thinking\, Planning\, and Leading\nA lack of strategic thinking and planning in organizations is costly. The greatest expense is the investment of time and resources into activities that do not support company goals or the mission. In addition\, employees show up\, do their work\, and go home. This results in missed opportunities. Without a context for their work\, employees are not inspired to think or plan creatively about process improvement\, innovation\, or cost savings. And anyone who has tried knows\, it can be a struggle to get teams to buy-in to strategic goals\, much less think and work in alignment with those goals. \nDeveloping your leadership ability for strategic thinking and planning\, coupled with the communication skills to engage in effective strategic conversations significantly improves your value as a leader. The days of hiring an outside agency to create a strategic plan for your organization are over; so too should be strategic plans developed at the top and handed down for others to implement. Organizations poised for growth and success have leaders who are adopting strategic thinking as an on-going way of doing business and strategic planning that engages employees across the whole organization as well as external stakeholders. They engage everyone in developing agile plans\, cycles of experimentation and learning\, innovation\, and measuring actions against relevant metrics. \nStrategic Conversations Bootcamp will invite you to explore the ways a living systems mindset influences strategic thinking and action\, teach you how to use the SOAR framework to support strategic conversations at all levels of an organizations\, deepen your understanding of the value of scaling strategic conversation to include the whole system\, and introduce you to four whole systems engagement processes: The AI 5D cycle\, Design Thinking\, World Cafe\, and Open Space Technology. \nLearning Outcomes\nThis training will encourage you to bring a living systems mindset to organizational design\, strategy\, and success. It will prepare you to engage teams in strategic conversations that can: \n\nRespond effectively to continuous change\, complexity\, and ambiguity.\nInspire productivity\, engagement\, and organizational effectiveness.\nReduce costs\, misalignment\, and conflicts.\nEnhance customer service.\nInnovate in the face of challenges.\nMake a positive contribution to the triple bottom line.\n\nAfter completing this bootcamp\, you will have the tools to engage teams from a whole system perspective in conversations to: \n\nDevelop an organizational system as the system’s north star.\nAddress short- and long-term challenges\, systems\, and innovation.\nExplore strengths\, dynamic capabilities\, and opportunities.\nDevelop or re-evaluate organization’s values\, vision\, and mission statements.\nSet goals\, objectives\, strategies\, and action plans.\nClarify roles\, relationships\, and expectations.\nTrack progress through regular cycles of action learning.\n\nCourse Modules\nClick the session titles below to learn more about each session’s overview and learning outcomes.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”2px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h5″ color=”peacoc” active_section=”0″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Module 1: STRATEGIC THINKING AND MINDSET” tab_id=”1697124763627-ac88f6bb-3b97″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]PURPOSE: Reassess the nature of what it means to be an organization\, explore the impact of adopting a living systems mindset\, and what that means when it comes to the nature of business conversation. \nOBJECTIVES: \n\nRethink the nature of organizations\, see them as a living system\, nourished by hubs of conversation and action.\nAdopt a living systems mindset and an Appreciative Inquiry conversational framework.\nRecognize 3 key factors for supporting strategic conversations and organizational flourishing.\nPractice framing and asking generative questions for strategic conversations that align with a living systems mindset.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Module 2: SOAR CONVERSATIONS” tab_id=”1697124763627-331ef788-76a1″][vc_column_text]PURPOSE: Learn to use the SOAR Framework to foster strategic conversations at all levels of an organization. \n OBJECTIVES: \n\nAdopt a SOAR Framework for strategic thinking and planning.\nExperience SOAR as a positive approach for strategic conversations.\nPractice positive framing and generative questions using SOAR at various levels in the organization.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Module 3: THE AI 5-D CYCLE” tab_id=”1697125274349-a53924e8-62ff”][vc_column_text]PURPOSE: Understand the importance of whole systems engagement and explore strategic conversations at scale using the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) 5-D Cycle to engage all stakeholders in strategic planning or whole system change. \n OBJECTIVES: \n\nUnderstand the need for whole systems engagement.\nUnderstand the AI 5-D Cycle.\nPractice framing an affirmative topic and creating an appreciative inquiry.\nIdentify opportunities to engage whole systems in strategic conversations.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Module 4: WHOLE SYSTEMS ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES” tab_id=”1697125396094-5b016fa7-057e”][vc_column_text]PURPOSE: Understand key factors for successful whole systems engagement and learn the basics around three popular processes for engaging large groups or whole systems in conversation. \n OBJECTIVES: \n\nRecognize key factors to successful whole systems engagement.\nUnderstand Design Thinking\, World Café\, and Open Space Technology.\nExplore when\, where\, and how you might use these processes.\nIdentify other resources and processes for whole systems engagement.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\nMethod of Delivery for the Strategic Conversations Bootcamp\nThese live events will be delivered and recorded using Zoom.

Almost everyone struggles with how to effectively communicate when they are frustrated or facing conflict. The effects of poor communication are costly. They show up in organizations as: \n\nEmployee disengagement\, malaise\, and turnover;\nDysfunctional teams;\nPoor performance;\nInability to give and receive critical feedback; and\nNegative attitudes\, cliques\, and gossip: a culture of “me”.\n\nIf you’re dealing with any of these outcomes\, the Conversation Bootcamp from Conversations Worth Having will give you the skills and tools to turn them around. This program is grounded in Appreciative Inquiry\, one of the most widely used positive change approaches. Two simple Appreciative Inquiry practices can turn your entire culture around\, creating a culture of conversations worth having. \nFollowing this workshop\, you will have tools to establish communication practices that will support productivity\, engagement\, high performance teams\, regular feedback\, positivity\, and a culture of “we.” \nCourse Outcomes\nYou will walk away prepared to: \n\nKeep your cool when you want to explode!\nEffectively challenge assumptions and preconceptions\, including yours.\nDeal with conflict quickly and effectively.\nFuel productive and meaningful engagement.\nCommunicate successfully with people who hold negative attitudes or defensive positions.\nGive and receive critical feedback in ways that promote learning and high performance.\nAsk the kind of questions that deepen understanding\, strengthen connections\, and inspire possibility.\nTalk with colleagues in ways that invite them to collaborate on projects and strategic outcomes.\nListen with genuine curiosity.\nFrame any conversation\, even one around a highly complex problem\, to inspire creative and innovative thinking and solutions.\n\nCourse Modules\nClick the session titles below to learn more about the Conversation Bootcamp’s modules and learning outcomes.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”4px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion color=”peacoc” active_section=”0″][vc_tta_section title=”Module 1: THE POWER OF CONVERSATIONS” tab_id=”1697997033053-f8a27ff1-47fc”][vc_column_text]PURPOSE: Understand the nature of our conversations\, how they affect human being and doing\, and enhance your ability to choose conversations worth having.\n\nOBJECTIVES: \n\nUnderstand the neuroscience of conversation.\nExperiences the power of conversation.\nPractice priming the body-mindset for conversations worth having.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Module 2: ASK GENERATIVE QUESTIONS” tab_id=”1697997033054-4b62f7ec-e7e0″][vc_column_text]PURPOSE: Understand the nature of our conversations\, the basics of Appreciative Inquiry\, and improve your ability to ask generative questions to foster effective communication.\n\nOBJECTIVES: \n\nExperience the nature of our conversations and the effect on you and others.\nRecognize a generative question and how it influences possibility.\nUse generative questions to shift the dynamics of personal and workplace communication problems.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Module 3: CREATE A POSITIVE FRAME” tab_id=”1697997332956-4c7ee9fa-d55f”][vc_column_text]PURPOSE: Intentionally foster effective communication using positive framing and continue to develop your ability to ask generative questions. \nOBJECTIVES: \n\nExperience flipping negative conversations to conversations worth having.\nUse flipping to frame problems and issues.\nDevelop generative questions to fuel productive and meaningful engagement around workplace challenges.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Module 4: FEEDBACK and FEEDFORWARD” tab_id=”1697997431784-cb798a58-2dd3″][vc_column_text]PURPOSE: Develop a growth mindset and understand and apply the two AI practices to give and receive feedback and feedforward. \nOBJECTIVES: \n\nAdopt a growth mindset to support openness and interest in regular feedback.\nUnderstand the difference between feedback and feedforward.\nPractice giving and receiving feedforward.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][vc_empty_space height=”4px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nMethod of Delivery\nThese live events will be delivered and recorded using Zoom.
