The Valuing People framework is as much philosophy as it is a model. It requires a commitment to an appreciative approach to relationships, regardless of the circumstances. It places the focus on facilitating, mentoring, and coaching rather than evaluating, correcting and directing. Participants are asked to identify what they are seeking, not what they wish to avoid. It also provides participants with practical, inexpensive ways to engage and motivate employees, community members and others.

Appreciative Leadership/Followership |

An appreciative view of the leader and follower positions looks at each through the lens of a “both/and” view rather than an “either/or” one. It recognizes that any team, organization or community needs leadership and followership, but those roles can be played by both leaders and followers. Effective team members find the balance between leading and following. This workshop is designed to help participants understand that “leadership” and “followership” are roles, not people and that each role is critically played by both “leaders” and “followers.”

It allows participants to explore reframing conflict and problems that interfere with progress into opportunities for moving forward.
