Program Description:

In Justin Reinert’s decades as a practitioner in talent development, he has encountered many interventions related to Diversity & Inclusion but has seen us collectively fail to move the needle. Based on his experience and research, Justin kept coming back to concepts of deep self-awareness and radical acceptance of others. The result of this work is his new book, Creating Belonging: A Practical Guide to Accelerate Belonging in Organizations and Communities.

Join Justin to learn more about his findings and the Creating Belonging model to see how belonging is created at the intersection of authenticity and acceptance. In this session, individual reflection and small group discussions will help you explore how to balance authenticity and acceptance, see where you may sit in the model, and create a plan to move further into belonging.

Fireside Chat on OD in OD:
Use of Self in an Emerging Design of an Impactful Summit

Join three leaders from the committee producing the Organization
Development Network’s international Summit on

“Social Impact: Addressing the Challenges of Now.”

In this chat the three panelists will begin by sharing the methodological frameworks for the tracks they are supporting. We will challenge each other to apply those frameworks to the work process the team went through to create the Summit. Participants are invited to join the meta-analysis, add to the conversation, and learn from their experiences.

You will leave with solid examples of Appreciative Inquiry, the Conference Model and Adaptive Action and application examples on Earthshot OD, Sustainability and Human Flourishing.   The Use of Self in OD is a lens through which we will work on sharing experiences.

Unethical behavior in organizations can be extremely costly. It exposes firms to direct costs, such as fines, settlements, and legal expenses, as well as indirect costs like damage to the firm’s reputation. This presentation will examine when employees perform unethical acts to benefit the organization (i.e., unethical pro-organizational behavior), what factors contribute to it, and what organizational development professionals can do to reduce unethical behavior at work. Participants will identify specific actions that they can take to mitigate the risk of unethical behavior at work.
