Organization Development & ChangeM. Frances Baldwin, Ed.D. CPCC - Demystifying 'Presence'“Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the divine.” - Ludwig Beethoven
If the practice of organization development draws from both its science and art, intentionally cultivating a compelling presence actualizes the wisdom in Beethoven’s quote. Isn’t it the artistic dimension of our work that seeks depth and differentiates performance from being a presence of some consequence?
This presentation is the adaptation and integration of established theoretical notions that while a commanding presence is a gift for a select gr...2022-06-1448 min

Organization Development & ChangeWhen Professional Identity Can Derail a Career: OD’s Role in Smoothing the ProcessAbstract:
Professional Identities can be defined as a representation of one’s self, developed over time through cognitive, psychological and socialization processes. It is a relatively constant and unchanging set of values, attitudes, beliefs and norms. Over time, an individual begins to think, act, and feel like a professional in their field. For occupational professionals such as physicians, nurses, engineers, and teachers, their professional identity becomes stronger, as these individuals are required to participate in continuing education, obtain professional certifications, and ascribe to specific professional ethics.
Professional identities can be both an asset and a li...2022-02-2347 min

Impostor syndrome is caused by many factors, but perhaps the most common is low self-efficacy. Although we usually think of low self-efficacy and impostor feelings as “sadness, fear, worry, self-doubt, and a “fake it till you make it” mentality, impostor feelings can also lead to frequent comparisons to others, sensitivity to constructive criticism, procrastination, working extra to...2021-12-291h 12
