<p>It always feels a little strange. When 'I' appreciate 'you', it sounds as if something is going from me to you. What you describe is a flow from 'you' to 'me'. And I think that is a good description of what is going on. 'Appreciation is key not only for the people who receive it, but also for those who practice it.'</p>

<p>It was very nice to meet your posting after a week away. </p>

<p>Hi MariJo,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a sharing from David the father of Appreciative Inquiry. I share this because it shows how we ie Human beings tend to focus on what does not work.</p>

<p>Appreciative Inquiry seems to help make it possible to "override" what some in the article believe is a hard wired bias of the negative brain. My experience says it is not hardwired in any sense of inevitable because people move into an Ai mode so deeply when certain conditions in the system or setting are established, for example such as the "whole system in the room" or introduction of the language of human strengths (see via strengths website.) But its an interesting conversation, to be sure.</p>
