Professor
I hold the Robert P. Stiller Endowed Chair of Management and direct the Cooperrider Center for Appreciative Inquiry at Champlain College. In the classroom and beyond it, my work is about one thing: helping people and organizations discover what's possible.
Practitioner
I work with organizations around the world to help them stop fixating on what's broken and start building from what's working. Keynotes, consulting, facilitation — I bring Appreciative Inquiry off the page and into the room.
Possibilitizer
Some people see problems. I see possibilities — and then I do something about them. From global Appreciative Inquiry summits to Earthshot OD movements, I work at the intersection of pragmatic optimism and real change.
