We often think of Organizational Development (OD) as fixing what's broken.

I see OD differently. 🤔

Just like people, organizations are called to grow in:

🔹𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 — Who are we really?

🔹𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 — How do we live out our values?

🔹𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 — What do we stand for when it’s hard?

🔹𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 — Why do we exist beyond profit?

OD isn’t about plugging in best practices.

It’s the discipline of becoming slow, intentional, and deeply transformational. It’s spiritual work in a structural world.

And the best OD practitioners are not just facilitators of change… they’re guides (𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗮𝘀) for implementing, adopting, and enculturating change.

If you've ever sensed there's something sacred in this work, you're not wrong. Let’s disciple our organizations into wholeness.
