"This is Personal" looks at the intimate details of a person's life through appreciative inquiry. We delve deep to find out how they got to this singular point in their lives. What are the events, the stories that influenced how their life has worked out? Have they used their past as a weapon or as a gift? By allowing a guest to share their story authentically, we gain both compassion and inspiration from their struggles and successes. And hopefully insight on what we might become as well.
