Work in a group of four to six people whom you know reasonably well. Sit in a circle, each person turning to face the person on his or her left and tell them:

● what you appreciate most about them;

● when you see them at their best;

● what they do that you would like them to do more of.

Move on to the next person to your left and repeat the exercise.

● How easy or diffi cult was the task?

● How did you feel (embarrassed/energized/foolish/happy, etc.)?

● What happens within the group during the process?

● What does this tell you about taking an appreciative stance?
