1) One application of Appreciative Inquiry that was discussed in the video A Skeptic’s Guide to Appreciative Inquiry (2018) was asking older adults what is most important to them. According to Jane Bavineu, helping others was most important to them. At the beginning of the video, Jane had more of a negative point of view and focused on the issues seniors experienced with aging. Toward the end of the video, she focused on solutions and had a more positive point of view, and her response from the seniors changed drastically. I could use this question in an organization to understand what motivates people to help.
