ABSTRACT

Appreciative Inquiry may be a methodology for organizational change, but when treated as a lived experience, is also a personal journey. The aim of this article is to described the personal and professional processes in which we engaged as AI facilitators-in-training. We include reflections, challenges and learnings about the interventions made in three different organizational scenarios in Puerto Rico: a community-based non-profit organization, a consultancy non-profit organization and an elementary public school.
