I know only a little about appreciative inquiry.  I very much 
like what I've read about it (the book Appreciative Inquiry by 
Jane Watkins and Bernard Mohr), especially AI's focus on what 
gives life to the system.

The word "engaging" is on my mind a lot lately, probably because 
I'm reading it on every page of Peter Block's Flawless Consulting 
Fieldbook.  And the theme of "making contact" is on my mind, too, 
partly because Wayne Strider is here, and that's a phrase I 
strongly associate with Wayne (based on some coaching he's done 
for me over the years).
