Dr. Tojo Thatchenkery Interview on Idealawg.com

Stephanie West Allen interviews Dr. Thatchenkerry on Appreciative Intelligence and how it applies to lawyers.  Thatchenkerry defines AI as:

"Appreciative intelligence has three components: the ability to reframe, to appreciate the positive, and to see how the future unfolds from the present. The last one is closely linked to cognition. My hunch is that people with higher appreciative intelligence will have different types of social cognitions than people with a lower level of it. Stated differently, the presence of appreciative intelligence may be a contributing factor behind the sharp or enhanced state of entrepreneurial cognitions which in turn allow successful entrepreneurs to recognize opportunities. "
