Why they matter for gatherings
Jacqueline Stavros is an author and founder known for developing methods rooted in Appreciative Inquiry and strengths-based approaches. She has created frameworks such as the SOAR Analysis and the Appreciative Inquiry 4-D Cycle to help organizations focus on positive potential and strategic growth.
Facilitators and event designers should know Stavros for her methods that prioritize collaborative, future-oriented dialogue. Her approaches are widely used to structure strategic planning and team-building gatherings around optimism and solution-focused outcomes.
Her methods build on Appreciative Inquiry principles and include variations like the SOAR framework, which integrates strengths-based strategy into organizational design.
Here is how those methods work in practice.
