Organization Development Program - Sonoma State University

My job is to visit clients in the North Bay and San Francisco area to conduct risk assessments and help the client develop and implement strategies to reduce or eliminate the risks. I conduct presentations and training. The training is primarily focused on educating and creating a self-sufficient client. My time spent with clients is a direct cost to The Zenith and not to the client, so I am encouraged to spend as little time as necessary with the client and to advocate an effort on the client's part to administer training and develop risk reduction strategies.

What I am excited about is that I am bringing OD skills, theory and methodology into a field that rarely employs such techniques to bring about awareness and change in safety and health. I am discovering that the consultant skills that the OD program teaches are invaluable in my work and
most importantly the successes of the client--things like relationship building, team building, and authentic communication are paramount to this work.

I am floating on air. Thanks for teaching me the magic Saul. It is so refreshing to be practicing something that adds so much meaning to my life, my work, and the work of others.
