About
Transformational Conversations is a catalyst for igniting and sustaining positive change. We understand the creative power of language and believe the most powerful way to effect positive change is to literally transform the conversations that people are engaged in on a daily basis. By transforming the conversations that people are engaged in we cause a change in their behavior and in their results. We cause this transformation by using a methodology known as Appreciative Inquiry (AI).
The typical approach to life is linear, we act as if we are at point A and we are trying to get to point B. Inevitably we think there is a straight-line pathway to get us there. A Transformational Conversation reveals the belief system or paradigm or point of view that is influencing our actions. Once this is revealed, alternative pathways come to light.
Find out how Transformational Conversations can bring new pathways to light for you or your organization by scheduling a free consultation.
Transformational Conversations:
Creating a world where good things happen naturally.
Lisa Giruzzi’s quest to make a difference led her to discover the field of study known as Appreciative Inquiry (AI). In 2003, she studied AI with its creator, Dr. David Cooperidder, at Case Western Reserve University Weatherhead School of Management. This experience was life altering. Later that same year, after 5 ½ years with the state, Lisa decided to pursue her business full time.
Additionally, Lisa is a co-owner of Appreciative Inquiry Consulting, a consortium of AI consultants dedicated to creating a positive revolution in change using AI. Lisa is an active member of the Albany Colonie Regional Chamber of Commerce, serving as chair of the Ambassador Committee and is a graduate of Capital Leadership.
In addition, Lisa is a member of The Consulting Alliance, Business and Professional Women (BPW) Tech Valley Chapter, the Schenectady Chapter of BNI and is on the Board of the Capital District Women’s Bar Association Legal Project
