Dear AI colleagues,

My daughter Caroline (who is a clinical psychologist) and I are teaming
up with the AI community of Minnesota to offer a 1 1/2 day workshop  on
frameworks for inspiring change. I will bring the perspective of the
Imagine work and frameworks for change agency at an organizational,
community and global level. Caroline will focus on what empowers change
at the individual level.  Flyer is attached. Registration online at 
http://frameworksforinspiringchange.eventbrite.com/  $350 including
materials.  $50 Early bird discount available until June 15. $100
discount available for young adults accompanying a paid participant. 

2. August 5-7 in Chicago
A small highly interactive masterclass taught by Bliss Browne,
President of Imagine Chicago on Frameworks for Community Engagement and
Change. 
You will learn and apply effective strategies and tools for:
●	Creating reliably constructive partnerships across differences
of gender, age and culture 
●	Strengthening questioning, listening and speaking skills
●	Shifting (and helping others shift) from deficit-based to
strength based mindsets and communications, using Appreciative Inquiry,
Asset Based Community development and Positive Asset Search 
●	Understanding the impact of strength-based vs. deficit-based
assessment of individuals and communities
●	Empowering constructive choices
Come learn and practice creative ways to elicit vision and hope, build
on strengths, and inspire constructive engagement and action.
This masterclass is limited to 10 people. Register now! Early bird
discounts available until June 30 as well as discounts for young adult
participation. Registration online at

There is some space available for out of town visitors  to stay in my
home for a nominal fee if they would like to extend their Chicago stay.


Many thanks for helping spread the word!
