      Appreciative Intelligence is a term coined by Tojo Thatchenkery to describe the capacity by certain individuals to see the positive potential of people or situations. He coined this term after observing the boom of the Silicon Valley in the USA, where talented immigrants from different countries assembled in a place and flourished.
