I have come to my path through a number
of diverse fields of discipline. This page offers you links to some
of the sources I have used to weave together a rare combination
of energy, spirituality, psychology, business, education and communities
of action. They run the gamut from traditional to planetary edge.
I welcome your recommendations for additions.
METHODS FOR TRANSFORMING ORGANIZATIONS AND
COMMUNITIES
- Appreciative Inquiry – originator
Dr. David L. Cooperrider of Case Western Reserve University says
Appreciative inquiry is about heightening our awareness of the
value, strength and potential of ourselves and others. It is a
way of thinking and asking question that arise from focusing on
what is positive and life enhancing about any area of life.

- Accelerated Learning – this
method embraces Harvard professor Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple
Intelligences and illustrates that each of us has an individual
preferred way of learning that suits us best. When you learn the
study skills that exactly match your personal style, you are learning
the way that is most natural for you. As it is natural, it is
easier and so becomes faster.
