Partnership Series -You Are What You Practice: Use of Self and Self Mastery
John D. Carter
Join us on March 27 from 9-10:30 am PT for an interactive webinar in partnership with our friends at the Chesapeake Bay ODN. This guru of the Gestalt method will be a great experience, plus the larger group conversations should be rich!
Is your practice what you preach and teach? In this session, participants will experiment with undoing lies and seeking transformation. These two skills are essential to the practice of OD. We will use techniques and tools developed by the GestaltOSD Center. They are part of an integrative perspective called Heartfulness Organization & Systems Development. Desired Outcomes: Heightened Awareness of your answers to: What is OD? What is your Practice? What is your answer to the three fundamental questions of life? What is your one-minute OD introduction of yourself?
