People will also respond more when they feel comfortable and appreciated which only supports the initiative. 7. Discuss how you could apply Appreciative Inquiry and/or Strategic Doing in your job.

I have been working in Human resources the last couple years. WIth that being said Human Resources is a lot of people interaction which can be difficult since you never know how people will interact with certain things that happen. This can be a job that you can get burnt out from, with that being said I can apply appreciative inquiry and strategy by creating a more open environment for people to voice what they need while also being
that support. I have learned that people tend to be nicer when you come from a place of understanding and listening. This also solves problems a lot quicker when you know what
the problem is. If I can be that person that promotes listening and understanding while appreciating that person who came to me I will really succeed in my career of HR.
8. Discuss how you could apply Appreciative Inquiry and/or Strategic Doing outside of your job.
-
I can use appreciative inquiry and strategy by creating a more appreciative and positive environment for my daily life. By being aware of how I speak to myself and making sure it's more of a positive and an intentional approach I will create a better mental mindspace.
When noticing the negativity and turning it into positivity it will get me much further in life and work and make my day to day more enjoyable.
