David Snider's Toolkit
David Snider integrates two powerful tools when he consults with leaders and teams and when he coaches individuals. One tool, Appreciative Inquiry (AI), offers proven methods to enable people to discover their own and each other’s most energizing, best experiences. The second tool, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®), presents a simple but deep description of differences in behavior preferences with which each of us is born. This tool provides a common language to understand and talk about how we most comfortably live and work. The language is safe because the approach is built on the assumption that each natural preference is equally valuable. David’s unique integration of these tools is a powerful resource for team, interpersonal and personal growth. You can learn more about these tools at the web sites found on our Links page.
David also uses a variety of other tools, such as Large Scale Change, Open Space Technology, Positive Organizational Scholarship, Positive Psychology and 
Brainstorming. He also uses tools that enable people to “play to learn,” including poker chips, Tinker Toys, collages and props to create media presentations.
He creates and leads activities that are fun and that allow people to see and feel the significant differences in their natural personality preferences. He provides tools to help people analyze and create action plans that include the strengths of all personality preferences. David energizes people to effect positive change that is in line with their organization’s mission and that matters to them personally.
