It has been suggested to me that perhaps beginning to blog about my experiences as I make the shift from recruiter/training manager to organizational development consultant would be a good experience for me and potentially for others.
So I'm going to try to capture my journey, process and learnings here. Comments and suggestions are welcome!
It all began back in 2005 when I became moderator of my church. Little did I know I was stepping in to lead a major change management process, but that's what the work turned out to be and I loved it! We changed our leadership model, struggled with a division of beliefs on our future and a learned to rely on ourselves to set the vision and direction of our church. I believe we came out much stronger and my experience leading the process pointed me toward both the graduate work that I'm doing as well as my new career focus.
I enrolled in Seattle University's Organizational Systems Renewal (OSR) program and am loving every step as I work toward my Masters degree. I'm learning a lot about myself, the work that I want to be doing and the process I need to follow to get there. Plus I'm meeting some really wonderful people along the way.
In future posts I'll tell you about my focus, the process of researching degree committee members and creating a consultancy.
For those of you who are joining me on this journey, thank you for taking the time to read my musings & meanderings. Please share your thoughts or ideas if anything strikes your fancy.
