Overview
The What Works Well (WWW) List is an exercise based on Appreciative Inquiry, an approach that emerged from the field of strength-based coaching that builds on positive practices. Specifically, Appreciative Inquiry is the art of finding the positive core of a person, group or Forum. It is when we take time in the present moment to learn from the past and mindfully leverage it into our future.
In this exercise, Forum members are asked to reflect on the past year and what has worked well in their Forum. Then, the group shares and collectively commits to items they’ll mindfully continue or implement in the upcoming year. In addition, if the Forum chooses, they can identify and address growth opportunities as well.
Objectives
-
To raise awareness among all Forum members about what is working well with the Forum
-
To help Forum members identify top behaviors or practices to mindfully continue
-
To determine new strength-based strategies to implement
