Self-Development for Effective OD Practice
Goals:
- Increase awareness of the role of self as instrument in OD practice.
- Develop approaches for self-care in sustaining yourself as an OD practitioner.
- Gain greater insight to your strengths and less developed areas as an OD practitioner.
Competencies:
- Reflect, Integrate, Act
- Self-Knowledge and Development
- Interpersonal and Group Skills
The overarching objective of this workshop is for you to become a more effective professional and to have increased confidence in your abilities.
Self-awareness and ongoing self-development are critical to being an effective OD practitioner. In this two-day workshop you delve more deeply into your strengths and developmental areas that you identified earlier in the program. We explore our purposes, values, skills, personality styles, and reactions to change, power, being challenged, and problem solving. We examine the role our assumptions and biases play in our interactions with others. Based on our insights, we identify and practice our preferred responses in working with others, as well as better understand how less-preferred responses impact our professional effectiveness.
Because of the heavy demands of OD work, self-sustainability is a key to professional effectiveness. Boundaries, life balance, self-care, developing a support system, and professional development are discussed.
This workshop includes individual self-reflection as well as large and small group activities and feedback opportunities.
