It was many years ago when we first realized that the questions we ask, the strenghs we notice every day, and the stories we share, can completely change how teams show up and grow. That insight became the heart of our book: 'Appreciative Inquiry as a Daily Leadership Practice'. Together with our publisher Taos Institute, we decided to make our book part of the WorldShare Books program. With that our book is from now FREELY available for everyone!

What if we choose even more radically to place all of life – including the more-than- human world – at the centre of everything we do? What might it look like if we made more space for non-human voices? How can we work more explicitly with and in nature? How do we broaden our perspective from human flourishing to a thriving planet? These are the central questions of the special issue of the International Journal for Appreciative Inquiry (AIP) that was guest edited by our K&S colleague Joeri Kabalt.

K&S colleague Joeri Kabalt is a guest in the online series ‘phenomenal conversations’ hosted by Dave Pendle on the 1st of November from 19.00 – 21.00 hrs. She will share her insights from her doctoral research on wonder that she came to think of as ‘seeing the extraordinary within the ordinary’.

Last Friday, we came together with our international K&S company. We were supposed to spend two days together in Cologne, but instead, we met each other over Zoom. After a plenary start where we all waved to each other whilst listening to the same song, we split up in small groups for a check-in. How are you in the midst of all this?

Luc Verheijen, Saskia Tjepkema and Joeri Kabalt wrote 'Appreciative Inquiry as a Daily Leadership Practice'. A book which underscores the important relational dimension of organizational development and change processes. Hence the subtitle: 'Realizing Change One Conversation at a Time'.
