While David Cooperrider discusses change at the organisational level, in this video Michelle McQuaid asks if a single question to can change our life at an individual level.
Michelle describes sitting in a class run by Cooperrider, where he opened by saying, "Every action we take is preceded by a question". He then went on to say, "Questions that look for the true, the good and the possible are what enable us to flourish". McQuaid was so inspired by this class that she went on to study her PhD on appreciate inquiry under the supervision of Cooperrider.
