Appreciative inquiry is a strengths-based approach to managing organizational change. Traditional approaches to organizational change are deficit based. They identify problems, come up with solutions to those problems and then implement the best solution. This traditional deficit-based approach is great for increasing efficiency in organizations; however, it has the unintended consequence of creating a sense of fatigue and a lack of engagement amongst staff. Appreciative Inquiry identifies an organization’s strengths and those things that have made it successful in the past and uses that as a platform to imagine, design, and deliver an even better future.

Coaching and mentoring skills are techniques used to help people achieve their goals, whether those are language learning goals, or professional development objectives, or career ambitions.
This session provides a summary of both coaching and mentoring. We cover some of the underlying principles and look at the skills and techniques you need to develop and how to get started. We consider how to be a successful coachee as well as effective coach, as it is essential to be a willing and reflective coachee before you can succeed in coaching and mentoring others! If you have an open mind, are a keen learner, and want to help others to become more confident and competent in achieving their goals, this introductory session is for you!
