In this article you will learn it is possible to use the four D-s in Appreciative inquiry in the coaching process. The four D-s are: Discovery, Dream, Design and Delivery. As human beings we have a tendency to search for problems and their causes or origins. However, the more time we spend on what does not work/function and also trying to find adequate explanations as to the reasons why it does not work, the less is the chance to find satisfactory solutions. Using appreciative inquiry and solution focused approach it is possible in a future-oriented way to find coaches dreams, help them design and deliver.
