June: ‘Spirituality & Business Integration for OD’ [06/12/25]

 Spirituality & Business Integration
for Organization Development 

A key component of spiritual fulfillment for many people is connecting to a sense of purpose or meaning in life.

We spend many hours of our lives at work. Helping workers / clients to promote ways to connect with their sense of purpose in work and in life can be an important role for OD leaders.

We will discuss some of the ways OD consultants can invite people to reflect on their inner values, beliefs, and sense of purpose – – the deep underpinnings that give them a sense of meaning.

We will also explore together some of the incidental and intentional strategies to engage people in understanding more fully their deep spiritual beliefs.

Please join us on June 12 as we explore ways to encourage leaders in organizations to take actions that help employees connect their personal values with the organization’s mission and priorities!
