Development on the Ark: A Comprehensive and Appreciative Approach
“How can one appreciate the strengths of another person while also planning their further development? We would propose that these two terms, appreciation and development, are not contradictory. They are quite complimentary. Development is not just about acquiring new skills and knowledge; it is also about nourishing and building on existing strengths and enriching one’s own understanding of self and other people.”
