Organization Development is one of those jobs, like dance or psychotherapy, where the person doing it and the way they do it, contribute mightily to the outcome.  Your conversations, interventions, and influence depend on the You that you bring to the job.  That means that your blind spots, your triggers, and your patterns, like a dancer's weak muscle or tendon, can be crippling.

But how do you become aware of your subtle, unconscious reactions?

Come to our next CODIC meeting and explore with us our beliefs, assumptions, and automatic responses.  We'll do enlightening (and fun!) exercises that uncover a bit of our "inner psyche" and we'll learn how to get better at noticing and letting go of reactions that get in the way of our effectiveness.
