This training will be conducted live via Zoom.
Organizations rely on Organization Development Practitioners, Industrial-Organizational Psychologists, and Dialogue Facilitators to accurately assess when there is subtext blocking communication in cross-cultural spaces. However, if practitioners misinterpret implicit and explicit verbal, written, and visual queues, the effect on deliverables such as environmental scans, desktop reviews, and T-groups can be devastating. Understanding inclusivity above the neckline can help you ask the right questions during client engagements.
Inclusivity above the neckline is a rich study area filled with nuance and multiple layers of intersectionality. Gaining a deeper understanding of this area of academics and lived experiences can improve your client deliverables and your deployment of self-as-instrument. Join consultants from Freeman Consulting & Associates, Atomic Performance, and The Mindful Policing Institute in discussing inclusivity above the neckline.
This session will:
Introduce you to the Above the Neckline Inclusivity model developed by Freeman Consulting & Associates.
Make connections between the model and the work of Marilyn Loden's and Judy Rosener's diversity framework and ways to integrate the model as a preparatory step for principle-based planning meetings like Sandra Janoff and Marvin Weisbord's Future Search.
Give you an opportunity to join one of two Above the Neckline Inclusivity discussion groups that will cover applications for and trends in:

This PNODN Community Gathering will be conducted live via Zoom. The zoom meeting details will be sent out prior to the training.
At our core, PNODN is a community. We are brought together by our shared passion for helping people thrive and organizations achieve more by unleashing the human potential within them.
Whether you think of yourself as an OD person or not, if you share this passion, we think you’ll love connecting with the amazing people in this community.
Once each month we dedicate this gathering to the purpose of building community, helping you make connections that add value to your life in friendship, support and business collaboration.
This is not your typical networking event where you share your business cards and well-worn elevator pitch.
This is about making authentic connections with people in our local community with whom you share this passion for people and fascination with the human dynamics of organizations.
Each time we gather we’ll offer topics in line with our quarterly theme and guidance to make conversation easy. This event is part of PNODN's quarterly theme Designing Good Work. In our gatherings we will explore the intentional creation of frameworks, lenses, and processes that help us to liberate our authentic selves and be better at doing good.
We’ll often use breakouts to give you a chance to talk with each other in small groups. And you’ll have the freedom to take the discussion in any direction that works for you and those gathered with you.
We will share and stick to a set of guidelines that support our shared commitment of creating a safe environment in which everyone is valued and respected. Nothing will ever be forced – you can abstain at any time.
The gathering is free of charge and everyone is welcome.

As pioneers in translating neuroscience and the Internal Family Systems model into a powerful and practical roadmap for developing conscious leaders, teams and organizations - we are committed to cultures where people are resilient, compassionate and innovative while prospering from doing good work for a better world.
The challenge is that most models of organizations ignore the fact that 95% of our behavior and decisions are guided by our unconscious. This is where we work - with evidence based models supported by decades of teaching, consulting and coaching.
At the end of the presentation, the participants will:
Suzanne Lahl, Terri Egan, and their associates at SyncUp Leadership Group are pioneering educators, practitioners, and researchers in vertical development - growing mindsets to meet the complexity and uncertainty of the world in which we lead.

Organizations of all types are making unprecedented investments in unconscious bias training, diversity recruitment, and anti-racism education, and other DEI interventions. Words like belonging and equity are on the list of aspirational outcomes for these efforts, but the pathways to those goals are unclear because their implementation has been reactionary, supplemental, and in too many instances cosmetic rather than systemic.
In this session we will have a dialogue about what developing an inclusion system can create for your organization.
By the end of this program, you'll be able to:

Lindsey Godwin
The undeniable call of our times is to build a better world together. In the spirit of stepping into this call to action, we will explore the bold question, “What if organizations are not our clients, but are instead the change agents working toward creating a flourishing world?” As we begin to re-imagine the role of organizations in our global change agenda, our work as OD practitioners also begins to shift in exciting ways.
I have never been more excited to be in the field of OD than today. Why? Because the next few decades will be decisive for our global community: we must create transformative shifts toward climate action, social equity, ecosystem restoration, and health and well-being for all. From the questions we ask to the interventions we design, OD has an opportunity to play a role in our global change agenda in ways never before imagined to create a world that works for all.
In this session you will...
