Both coaching and OD are evolving as professional practices. This is primarily due to organizations reaching out to both coaching and OD for help to address the adaptive challenges associated with the uncertainty and volatility of these complex times. However, only recently have members of both practice communities begin to have conversations about how to create value at the individual, group, and organizational level. Marsha will lead a provocative conversation about how coaching and OD may be at an inflection point to redefine their professional identities. She will also invite the exploration of how coaching may be used as an OD intervention to accelerate strategic change in organizations and communities.

During this webinar, participants will:

1. Appreciate how the history of OD continues to influence how we practice.
2. Gain a better understanding of how to look at coaching using an OD lens and vice versa….look at OD using a coaching lens.
3. Recognize the intersection between OD and coaching and how both can contribute to increasing organizational effectiveness.
4. Identify how coaching can support strategic change at various levels in an organization and in communities.
