I've read Miriam's latest book Flourishing Together, and I believe the title of this books says it all. Based on the principles of Appreciative Inquiry this has become a book that explains how we can flourish together. Apart from an introduction to Appreciative Inquiry and its backgrounds, it focuses on the use of appreciative coaching and how, by bringing relevant others into the coaching process, we create a richer environment for the person being coached. As an experienced coach Miriam takes us through this process in a thorough way, touching on the many aspects of Appreciative Coaching. A wonderful, rich book for any one who would like to explore the world of Appreciative Coaching! ~ Joep C. De Jong

Miriam Subirana is to be admired for her profound insights about human relations. She has written a series of valuable books about what can happen between people. In her latest book Flourishing Together she combines this knowledge into an unparallelled reflective experience. Whilst reading, you feel being coached appreciatively. Further reading helps you even to become an appreciative coach yourself. Everyone who buys Flourishing Together, is a potential contributor to making the world a better place. ~ Cees Hoogendijk, AI practitioner, driven by Humanization of Organization

This book is both a challenge and a way to see people as sources of relationally enacted, positive potential, with ideas, questions and gifts to contribute to the world. It opens the door to a world of appreciation, strengths and positivity in the realm of human performance and development. At the same time, it gently closes the door on theories that posit people as flawed, and in need of management, control and redemption. It is up to you how far you wish to open the door. You may choose to read and apply some of the questions and techniques in this book to your ongoing coaching practice; or you may choose to adopt appreciative coaching fully as your way of relating to people at work and at home. ~ Diana Whitney
