Over the past several weeks’ I have produced a series of vlog posts on Appreciative Inquiry As we come to the close of this series, let’s take a moment to reflect on what Appreciative Inquiry truly invites us to do. At its core, Appreciative Inquiry is not just a method—it’s a way of thinking. It challenges us to shift our attention from what’s broken to what’s working, from deficits to strengths, and from fixing problems to creating possibilities.

Welcome to this week’s video blog post and the final in my series on Appreciative Inquiry. This week let’s talk about something at the heart of every successful team and individual – creating a positive core.

If we want the people around us to be positive and confident, we have to start by building that positivity within ourselves. It’s about focusing on your own strengths and then helping your team discover theirs. It starts with self-awareness. When you have a strong, positive core, you’ll feel confident tackling any job—and your coworkers will feel the same way. Watch this weeks video to learn how.

In this week’s video blog post, let’s talk about how we can create positive change at work—and how that change can ripple out to others. It’s all about Appreciative Inquiry and using our strengths to make a difference. Influencing other people doesn’t have to be complicated. It often starts small—maybe with a positive attitude or a helpful suggestion—and then those efforts begin to grow. When we focus on being positive ourselves, we naturally help others make changes in their own lives, too.

This week’s Vlog is about something simple but powerful—positive imagery. You might be surprised how much it can shape your attitude and your results at work. Positive Imagery is about creating a full picture of an idea or situation using details and facts. When you focus on positive images—whether they’re physical, like a trophy, or mental, like picturing a happy team—you’re giving yourself a boost. It helps you stay upbeat, even when things get tough.
