Overview

Peer mentorship is incredibly valuable—and something all women can do for one another. This Peer Support Power Hour activity guides your Circle through the process of working together to come up with creative solutions to problems. Throughout the activity, you’ll rely on the Appreciative Inquiry problem-solving framework, which uses positive questions to uncover strengths and opportunities. Your Circle can repeat this activity as often as you’d like, bringing new problems to the Circle that will help you learn and grow together. During this meeting, you'll:

Meeting Goals

• Learn how to pose positive questions using Appreciative Inquiry
• Solve problems with the four steps of Appreciative Inquiry: Discover, Dream, Design, and Deliver
• Gain new perspectives and uncover solutions to challenges
