“I worked with the deputy director of Analysis for an intelligence agency in Washington, D.C. to create a year-in-review that he could use to report up, out, and down in the organization. The purpose was to inform the Director of the agency and other leaders of past-year accomplishments and the strategic vision the directorate will take to serve the mission. We met for a series of coaching sessions that aligned with the 5D Appreciative Inquiry Framework: Define, Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny/Deliver. I used visuals to facilitate the conversations which led to a graphic that he used to present the accomplishments and vision. The graphic was distributed and leveraged as a change management tool for those who reported up to him. The visual represented a unifying message that was communicated on all levels of the agency and positioned the deputy director as a leader in the organization that modeled the way for other leaders.“
