I work as a school teacher, and I have known for a long time the need to focus words on what we want (as distinct from what we DON'T want). With children in particular, the imprint of words is powerful, and the minute you name a behavior, it starts to take root in their minds, even if it's the behavior you're trying to eliminate! So we try to change the language around to focus on encouragement and support. From what I've read, this seems to be the main thrust of AI.
I have to say, although I can repeat this principle very well, I often notice myself forgetting it! There is a kind of vigilance and self-study required to really move the pattern of our communication in a positive direction. I feel sometimes like I am predisposed to see problems, and it can be a hard struggle. I look forward to knowing more about this process.

Subject: Got AI?
ID: 100118
I have had the privilege to participate in Appreciative Inquiries facilitated by Kay Lindahl and they changed my life and empowered me to be a more effective parent, partner, daughter and leader. Dialogue is essential in creating a peaceful world and the actual rules for effective listening (and hearing) are not about being restrictive but being expandable and broadening. I have the opportunity to lead interfaith dialogue groups and using the skills that I learned from Kay about AI, the sessions were empowering, thought provoking and heart changing. AI is essential if we hope to find peace and reconciliation through dialogue.
