The Power of Presence - Inner work of the OD Practitioner | Dr Frances Baldwin | OrgDev Podcast #81

Описание: What separates good OD practice from great OD practice – skill, strategy, or self-awareness?

You can have the tools. The models. The frameworks. But what really shapes your impact as an OD practitioner?

According to Dr Frances Baldwin, it’s not what you do – it’s who you are.
Frances has been shaping the field of Organisation Development for more than five decades. Yet when you ask her what truly makes a difference in this work, she doesn’t start with methods or models.

She talks about presence. About congruence. About the quality of the inner condition we bring to our practice.

After fifty years of working across industries and continents, Frances is clear: it’s your presence, purpose and self-awareness that enable trust, unlock change and create real impact.

In this episode, she brings depth, wisdom and a lifetime of embodied OD practice to the conversation – reminding us that development always begins with who we are.
