From Elementary Teaching to Organization Development

Sept 2010

Hi, Anthony!

I've been thinking of you from time to time lately, as I've just finished my practicum and am preparing to graduate and move into the next phase of my professional career. How exciting! All of my consulting experiences as part of the organization development graduate program have only confirmed for me that I'm in the right place. I just can't emphasize that enough; I LOVE this work, and I feel like "I have arrived." So thanks again for your help finding this place!

And keep your eyes out for an invitation to my graduation party in November!

Yours,

Steph

Hi, Anthony!

Firstly, congratulations on the publication of your new "Now What?" book! I am recommending it to brother-in-law, who is struggling with the answer to that question for himself.

Update on me: I quit my old job. The environment there was just so negative that it really began to affect me, so I decided to leave rather than hang around and wait for the axe to drop.

Also, I've been accepted into a DC area masters in Organization Development program for this fall! I think this program is the best for me. I just finished one of the introductory Lab courses, this was just life-changing for me. I had the opportunity to work through my core stuff, as well as learn about personal interactions and group processes at the same time. It's hard to convey fully in writing, but this focus on experiential learning that this masters's program has is very powerful, and I think it's the best place for me!

I just wanted to let you know that, having attended that pre-requisite for my graduate program, I'm feeling so confident that I've made the right decision. Everything about this work resonates with who I am and employs my natural talent set perfectly. I couldn't be more excited to begin!

Thanks again for all your help,

Steph
