<p>All communities need angels. Angels are the people who carry the messages to and from people who can you make your dreams come true.</p>

<ul>
<li>Master Angels who have specialized in something and know all the professional language, the best solutions money can buy and the affordable solutions that work almost as well as the most expensive</li>
<li>Connector Angels who bring people from many places and many professions together and introduce them to each other</li>
<li>Sales Angels who tell the dreamers how another mindset or practice can make your dreams come true</li>
</ul>
<p>One of the Master Angels, Edward T. Hall <a href="http://www.edwardthall.com/">http://www.edwardthall.com/</a> suggest that we have made it hard for the angels to do their jobs. We seem to have chosen a way to spread knowledge, that make it hard to spread useful ideas and practices.</p>
<p>The oldfashioned way to do that is by sharing stories instead of knowledge. It still works.</p>
<p>I have attached an article by Mette Jacobsgaard, with some fascinating ideas on how to reignite the old tradition of storytelling, so we can help the Angels make our dreams come true.</p>

<p>I want to share a small introduction to the art of asking questions inspired by Appreciation.</p>
<p>I think all appreciative questions always refer back to the purpose of what we are doing. So in the words used in the introduction, I believe you should always start with a generative question and ask for real human experiences.</p>

<p></p>
<p><strong>Getting started</strong></p>
<p>If you want to start asking appreciative questions you should use these questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>What is the best experiences you have had in relation to <em>becoming competent</em>?</li>
<li>What made it possible for you to have these experiences? What did you do? What did other people do? Which circumstances were supporting the experiences?</li>
<li>What could you do that would make it easy to <em>become even more competent</em>?</li>
</ol>
<p>The words in <em>Italic</em> can be replaced with the specific things you want to appreciate.<em> </em></p>
