As the shock waves of chaotic national and global change shake the context for every managerial practice, Dave and Tom Casey have this conversation about what leaders and clients of his firm, Discussion Partner Collaborative, do in the face of unprecedented uncertainty about what is coming next. Sit tight or stand up, speak out?

Dave and Faith Addicott become reacquainted on the verge of hopeful changes in the emerging, interdisciplinary fields of organization development. From Anthropology to engineering, Faith's vision is that creative approaches to changing how people experience organizational life in this global society are finally possible. She organizes at the confluence of these refreshing interactions between practitioners and researchers, sharing the purpose to invent new ways to guide positive change. Currently, she contributes to The Good Work Collective, which is spearheading the OD Out Loud Revival.

This is Part 2 of episode 288 in which we showed how, as human language and group life evolved, special social emotions developed that sustain the relationships underlying enacted social actions. These are the emotions of shame, guilt, and pride. This episode shifts from the social bonds maintained between self and others to look "inward" to the bonds among aspects of our own selves. We discuss Internal Family Systems therapy which shows how the Self splits into Parts during child development. Shame among internal parts can sustain mental health problems that can be resolved by a respectful therapeutic conversation, repairing bonds among parts. Join us for another layer to our explanation of how practice works.
