Appreciative Rewirement

Ann Shacklady-Smith

I am motivated to learn how we help ourselves and others to create a renewed, fairer, sustainable future for all.

Kia ora dear friends, how wonderful to see the European Network alive and well. After two full years in a demanding role I am about to reclaim freedom and enjoy developing Appreciative ReWirement. This is a new start and likely to be a slow build - so watch this space as I work through the questions. I am motivated to learn how we, in a post covid19 world, help ourselves and others to create a renewed, fairer, sustainable future for all. We have the technology! I look forward to the conversations.

Dare to Imagine

Vera Hofmann

Vera was and is known for her smile, her grace, her dedication to bring about a world that honors all Life and that would contribute to what she called a ‘grandchild proof future’.

Towards the end of July 2024 we received the sad news that Vera (1990 – 2024) had decided to leave our world, leaving many of us in shock, with unbelieve and with many questions. As her friend and colleague, I would like to share a few words on what Vera meant to me and our community.

Vera was and is known for her smile, her grace, her dedication to bring about a world that honors all Life and that would contribute to what she called a ‘grandchild proof future’. She was sharing and spreading her passion for appreciative inquiry (AI) in many ways and places. Whether it was helping to revive the European AI community through a beautiful website (2021), organizing the glocal gathering for the European AI community for the 2022 JAM, facilitating AI culture sessions for the World Food Program in Rome (2023), working with ESCP students in Berlin (2023) on ‘Doing what you love and loving what you do’ using as AI as the fundament, organizing the Ask Me Anything calls around appreciative inquiry and leadership, or organizing the Salon ‘Turning the Tide, doing business in a way that honors all Life in Amsterdam (2024) trying to bridge Peter Koenig’s work on Love in Business with David’s work on Appreciative Inquiry, Vera was there with her dedication, her smile, her courage, her enthusiasm and sometimes also her doubts and concerns , but always with her love – she was a beautiful human being!

Some of you may have met her during the WWAIC in Nice where I had the honor of delivering a wonderful workshop with her on ‘AI and intergenerational work’, using the tango as a metaphor. That also pictures her. Vera loved dancing the tango, arts and could really enjoy a good meal and a good coffee! She left us way too early and also leaves us with a beautiful legacy of inspiration and hope, something to be deeply appreciated and grateful for even though it is surrounded by so much sadness. It was such an incredible joy to work with her and I know that I and many of us will miss her deeply.

Expert in Positive Change

Fritz Walter

Fritz Walter serves the goal-oriented further development of people and organizations. So far, so good, so self-evident.

FRITZ WALTER - EXPERT IN POSITIVE CHANGE, serves the goal-oriented further development of people and organizations. So far, so good, so self-evident. There are two (additional?) aspects that are important here:

First, we want to be there for our customers when they need us. We feel - as the fox from the Little Prince reminds us - (co-)responsible for the people and organizations we have become familiar with. In crises, we are therefore always available.

Secondly, we definitely have our own goals, some would say a mission. And this could be described as subversive (although it is no longer so if we disclose it here): We do not consider companies to be an end in themselves, but find that they have to serve: People and society. We want to (be able to) talk with each other and with our customers about what this service consists of in concrete terms.
