Organizational Development and Social Change, Part 1

People who are learning what I do for a living often ask me how I got into this line of work. I love answering this question. It gives me the chance to discuss two of my greatest passions: organizational development and working for social change.

Going back to childhood, I’ve felt driven to work for social change, thanks to a desire for justice and a sense of duty toward those whose life work benefits us all. My impact felt limited, though, until I realized my love of organizational development efficiently supports both of these guiding principles.

This first podcast in my series on leadership, learning, and transformation answers the “why do you do what you do?” question I hear so often. Use the audio player above to discover how I found my path, why I remain on it despite the obstacles, and how I’ve managed to avoid burnout.
