We are pleased to announce that Library Strategist Jenny Kobiela-Mondor of the MCLS Engagement, Consulting, and Training team has been certified as an Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator by the Center for Appreciative Inquiry.

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a strengths-based approach to organizational change. It focuses on an organization’s positive core by using a whole-system approach to help staff co-create their best future. MCLS uses AI to help libraries with strategic planning, change initiatives, and other internal areas of focus such as communication, customer service, teamwork, collaboration, and workplace satisfaction.

Congratulations, Jenny!

MCLS now has four certified Appreciative Inquiry Facilitators. If your library is seeking to create change through positive, strengths-based dialogue, contact us at engagement@mcls.org to see how we can support you.
