Conversations Worth Having

I love this book! I don’t say that about every book. This one is valuable, especially at this point in history.
Cheri and Jackie make it simple to turn any interaction into a conversation worth having.

Jackie and Cheri really show how we can truly change the world one conversation at a time.
Through their effective use of storytelling, you learn how to apply Appreciative Inquiry
to engage in conversations designed to generate new ideas, create energy, and result in positive outcomes!

Wow! What a great book! I’m going to use it in my courses and with every client from now on. I find it very rare to read a book like this,
one that is so compelling and practical that it not only provides simple guidelines anyone can use, but filled me with the desire
to go use them right away in the next conversation I have. Once I started reading it I couldn’t stop, and I immediately thought
of a dozen clients and friends I want to give the book to. I believe that if you read and apply just the first two chapters your life,
at work and at home, will change for the better!

Conversations Worth Having is a book worth having for all leaders… and a must read book for 2018.
Through a combination of real life stories Jackie and Cheri provide practical wisdom and
just the right amount of science drawn from the fields of Appreciative Inquiry, Positive Psychology,
and strengths-based movement. This book demonstrates how conversations in the workplace
determine the well-being of its team members as well as the organization’s capacity to flourish.
I will pass it onto my teams, family and friends.

As a college president, one of the most important things I can do is engage members of the college in meaningful conversations,
giving voice to all our stakeholders. The Appreciative Inquiry practices in this book have been transformational at our college.
They have empowered us to have difficult conversations, strengthen our relationships, and focus on how we can together create
even greater possibilities for our students to succeed.

An entertaining and fascinating read! Cheri and Jackie blend stories about personal and organizational conversations
with practical advice about how to frame conversations in ways that make people want to engage and take action.
You will never look at yourself, your organization, or your world of conversations quite the same way.

Conversations Worth Having is exceptional! It’s easy to read, relatable, and absolutely relevant. Ground breaking!
Read this book if you want to be a great leader. Jackie and Cheri provide a comprehensive approach to improving communications in any setting.
