Appreciative Rewirement

Ann Shacklady-Smith

I am motivated to learn how we help ourselves and others to create a renewed, fairer, sustainable future for all.

Kia ora dear friends, how wonderful to see the European Network alive and well. After two full years in a demanding role I am about to reclaim freedom and enjoy developing Appreciative ReWirement. This is a new start and likely to be a slow build - so watch this space as I work through the questions. I am motivated to learn how we, in a post covid19 world, help ourselves and others to create a renewed, fairer, sustainable future for all. We have the technology! I look forward to the conversations.

I am a teambuilding practitioner and I absolutely thrive in working with teams - assisting them to perform and see the world through new eyes.

I am firstly, a husband to a beautiful wife and dad to 2 beautiful daughters - this is my prime calling, and it gives me great joy ... and some grey hairs!!

Living in South Africa is a challenge, a privilege, and a rich experience ... not for the soft-hearted. I am a teambuilding practitioner and I absolutely thrive in working with teams - assisting them to perform and see the world through new eyes. With over a hundred teambuilds with VWSA alone, we are right up there with the leaders in this field. Here we have the honour of partnering with corporates to shape the future for many.

I also assist in managing an NPO - The OLI Foundation, which is an adventure-based youth leadership initiative that works with thousands of young people every year. Africa is an exciting adventure and our youth need positive role models that will assist them in leading the way in this the 4th Industrial Revolution, and quite possibly the last one we will get to experience.

My motivation to get up every morning is to discover and unfold the potential of people. I do this is by spotting and naming the beauty in everything and everyone I encounter and by pointing out opportunities for growth.

Expert in Positive Change

Fritz Walter

Fritz Walter serves the goal-oriented further development of people and organizations. So far, so good, so self-evident.

FRITZ WALTER - EXPERT IN POSITIVE CHANGE, serves the goal-oriented further development of people and organizations. So far, so good, so self-evident. There are two (additional?) aspects that are important here:

First, we want to be there for our customers when they need us. We feel - as the fox from the Little Prince reminds us - (co-)responsible for the people and organizations we have become familiar with. In crises, we are therefore always available.

Secondly, we definitely have our own goals, some would say a mission. And this could be described as subversive (although it is no longer so if we disclose it here): We do not consider companies to be an end in themselves, but find that they have to serve: People and society. We want to (be able to) talk with each other and with our customers about what this service consists of in concrete terms.
