Cultivating a Compelling Presence with Frances Baldwin
Special ODN Lifetime Achievement Award Presenter Frances Baldwin
Live via zoom meeting.
My interest in an effectual definition of the word presence, especially, as it relates to the practice of organization development is only heightened as we navigate an environment in which both the speed of change and the changing nature of change itself, challenges our ability to add real value. If “presence” and the use of self are our most reliable tools, what are the implications/needs/methods for mastery of these commonly referenced yet somewhat indistinct phenomena?
Gestalt practices define presence as “the living embodiment of knowledge.” This implies that the, theories and practices essential to change are manifested in the behavior of the consultant. Whatever our intention or purpose, professional or social, in the experience of others we are content and process in action.
Objectives: Share and examine in conversation, perspectives on presence
- Common threads/principles that inform our understanding
- Presence as a birthright vs ability to develop
- Knowledge, skills, mindsets and behaviors associated with the most compelling presence we experience in people
