Positive Talent Strategies Feedback
"I highly recommend Tenny Poole and Tracey Jedd's Appreciative Leadership program. This interactive session equips Leaders to critically evaluate their own effectiveness as it relates to inspiring employees and will give you the practical tools necessary to create a culture of collaboration. This is by far one of the best leadership training I've attended in a while. Thank you to Tenny and Tracey for making this such a positive and informative journey. I enjoyed every aspect of the program and look forward to your developing an Advanced Appreciative Leadership session."
"It is with great pleasure that I endorse Tenny Poole, Positive Talent Strategies, and the leadership model Appreciative Inquiry.
I had the privilege of recently participating in an Appreciative Inquiry workshop and can state with confidence that this is a 'must' workshop for any current or future leader of people to attend, especially in light of demands placed managers of having to do more with less. Appreciative Inquiry provides leaders of today and tomorrow with critical people management tools that are both powerful and proven.
For those companies committed to the concept of attracting, developing and retaining the best and the brightest, Appreciative Inquiry is a perfect component to that mindset. And, for those organizations that are results and performance driven Appreciative Inquiry is likewise a perfect fit.
As a senior human resources leader that has witnessed other leadership models, I can honestly state that the tools, values and principles acquired by participating in an Appreciative Inquiry workshop would be highly beneficial for both today's and tomorrow's leadership community."
"The Appreciate Leadership workshop provided tools and resources that I hadn't encountered elsewhere and that I was immediately able to put to use. The use of a discovery approach, combining exercises in self-reflection with a solid overview of fundamentals and concrete techniques, helps participants to articulate a leadership aspiration that will be both effective and personally appropriate. The facilitators are able draw from their deep backgrounds and experience to enrich the workshop with real-world examples and provide personalized guidance."
"I had the opportunity to participate in the Cultivating the Art of Appreciative Leadership led by Tenny Poole. At a time when spirits are down, fear and negativity are prevalent, and trust is not forthcoming current leadership trends must shift to be more positive, inclusive, and unconstrained. This workshop provides the framework for today's leaders to reframe their thinking and communication to be positive and more altruistic catapulting their organizations to high performing, engaged teams. I recommend this workshop to leaders and companies, who are serious about positive leadership and the collective power of the organization to innovate, collaborate and transform company goals from average to exceptional."
"What can I say? Wow, Wow, WOW! I have just spent the most wonderful three days with you, immersed in positivity and opportunities to shine! I am so inspired and full of energy, looking forward to each new day beginning with the intention of "celebrating what's right with the world". I cannot begin to thank you for the wealth of realness and optimism you shared - it was absolutely contagious! You are just wonderful, & I wish you all the best. Thank you!"
