In Praise of the February, 2008 workshop:

The AI Leadership Development course was simply amazing. I'm still processing and relish the knowledge that I always will be. It was such an inspiration to be in the same room with Diana and Amanda and my fellow participants - quite humbling really. I'm not sure what a "typical" Ai Leadership Development training is like, but this group really bonded. It gives me great joy and hope for the world thinking about everyone now back in their respective corners of the universe, doing such beautiful, life-affirming work, and with a new self-knowledge and recognition of our strengths that we discovered through this course. When I got home, I bought a bunch more reading material (including "In Praise of Slowness," per Diana's recommendation) and am off and running on my 5-year plan.

“With over 18-year experience in executive positions, I was amazed at the depth and breathe of discovery during this dynamic four-day workshop [Appreciative Leadership Development Program]. Strengths that I knew I possessed became vividly alive through the rich story-telling process. The Appreciative Leadership Surveys were insightful, pushing me to move in directions, which have revealed limitless career challenging opportunities. This is a must workshop for any visionary leader willing to explore new horizons!”

[Appreciative Leadership Development Program] was a life altering experience. I not only got in touch with my strengths as a leader but really got in touch with who I've been "being" as a leader and what is effective about it as opposed to what I've been "doing" as a leader. I loved how we took the different data points and used them to take a look at ourselves and what we're up to as leaders. I am completely re-inspired as a leader and feel very supported and connected with my colleagues. Thanks.
