Keynote:
“The Power of Appreciation
– Look for what’s right rather than what’s wrong”

Our human brains are much better at noticing errors and shortcomings than at acknowledging and appreciating all that is right and good. But if we simply remove a problem, we will only get to OK, non-problem. Too much of a problem focus can also create a negative atmosphere, where people feel unhappy and lose their motivation.

Gunnel Ryner

Would you rather want a workplace characterised by pride, happiness, inspiration and creativity, where people perform at their best and create exceptional results? If so, you need to shift your focus, and start to utilise and build on your strengths and all that you do well. Using a strengths-based approach means talking about what you want more of (rather than less of), seeing opportunities and solutions and doing more of what works well.

“The power of appreciation” is based on research within the fields of psychology and organizational psychology and methods such as Appreciative Inquiry and Solution Focus. With lots of positive energy, humour and passion, Gunnel Ryner gives you the tools you need to take yourselves and each other to a whole new level. The result? More happiness at work, better relationships, more engagement and pride, increased well-being and better results!

Contents:

  • Appreciation at work – creating happiness and a positive atmosphere by utilising strengths, exploring successes and building on what works well
  • Appreciate life – about gratitude, happiness and appreciating the small joys
  • Appreciate yourself – seeing everything you do well, using your strengths, while also accepting that you’re not perfect
  • Appreciate others – seeing the best in others and reinforcing what you want more of
