Episode 25: OD Burnout Is Real - Protecting Your Capacity in the Work That Holds So Much 9:05

2 days ago9:05

9:05

In this solo episode of Unboxing OD , Kenneth Pearson steps into a conversation that many OD practitioners feel but rarely name -- burnout. Not the surface-level fatigue that comes after a long week, but the deep, layered exhaustion that comes from holding space for others, navigating resistant systems, and balancing the emotional labor that sits beneath our day-to-day work. Kenneth unpacks how OD burnout shows up, why it builds over time, and the quiet cost of constantly staying present for everyone else while neglecting your own restoration. He shares signs to watch for, stories from the field, and practical strategies for protecting your capacity without sacrificing integrity. This episode is both an honest acknowledgment of the weight this work can carry and a reminder that caring for yourself is not separate from your role -- it’s essential to it. Whether you are in the midst of your own exhaustion or want to prevent it, this conversation offers space, perspective, and tools for reclaiming your voice and your energy in the work you love.

Melissa shares how her career path has shaped her perspective, what it means to mentor with presence, and why allyship and empathy are essential to long-term change.

47:25

In this special in-person episode of Unboxing OD , Alex Ochoa shares what it means to show up - fully, boldly, and unapologetically - in a profession where you don’t always see yourself reflected. A first-generation Latina college graduate, Learning & Development Specialist, and co-founder of Latinos in I/O Psychology (LIOP), Alex opens up about navigating identity, imposter syndrome, and the quiet power of building space when none was offered. This episode isn’t about theory. It’s about experience. It’s about learning how to take up space after being told not to. It’s about creating connection where isolation once stood. And it’s about remembering that the most radical thing we can do, especially in the workplace, is to listen - to ourselves, to others, and to the stories we haven’t heard yet. Alex reminds us that leadership isn't about having all the answers. It’s about showing up with compassion, claiming your place, and extending a hand to those still finding theirs.

8:23

In this episode of Unboxing OD , host Kenneth Pearson takes us into one of the most delicate and defining aspects of organizational development - what happens when your findings reveal something uncomfortable, something that leadership might not be ready to hear. OD practitioners are often asked to assess culture, diagnose issues, and present a path forward. But what happens when the data tells a harder story? One of broken trust, misaligned values, or leadership that’s lost touch? How do you tell the truth without losing your seat at the table? Through reflective insight and field-based strategies, Kenneth explores how to approach difficult diagnoses with integrity, care, and precision. You’ll hear how framing, timing, sequencing, and narrative can transform uncomfortable truths into catalysts for change. This episode also offers guidance on holding the room during challenging conversations, honoring the voices of employees, and choosing courage over comfort, even when it comes at a cost. Whether you’re new to the field or deep in the practice, this is a conversation about truth-telling, discernment, and the deeper responsibility of OD work. So grab a cup of coffee, and join us as we explore what it really means to speak the truth - especially when it hurts. Ask us a question!

In this episode of Unboxing OD , Kenneth explores the powerful presence of organizational power dynamics and the influence they carry in shaping culture, conversations, and decisions. These dynamics often live beneath the surface, guiding what is shared, what remains unspoken, and how change takes shape across teams and leadership.

He offers thoughtful insights and strategies for navigating these moments with clarity and care, drawing on practical approaches that support trust, transparency, and systemic alignment.

In this powerful and personal conversation, Dr. Victoria Mattingly (Dr. V) - organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, and CEO of Mattingly Solutions - joins Kenneth to explore what it really means to act like an ally in the workplace. From her unexpected entry into IO psychology to the human-centered heart of her work, Dr. V shares the stories and insights that have shaped her journey.

Episode 18: The Myth of the Quick Fix - Why OD Work Takes Time 8:32

9 weeks ago8:32

8:32

We all love a quick fix - something that solves the problem, calms the chaos, and gets us back on track. But in the world of Organizational Development, quick fixes often don’t fix anything at all. In this episode of Unboxing OD , Kenneth explores the myth of fast solutions and why real, sustainable change takes time, reflection, and iteration. He unpacks why surface-level interventions often miss the mark, how root cause analysis requires patience, and what it really means to “slow down to speed up.” You’ll hear an example of when a simple workshop request revealed much deeper organizational issues, and how OD work can uncover and begin to heal what’s underneath the surface. This episode is an invitation to OD practitioners, leaders, and changemakers to rethink what “results” look like, and to embrace the kind of work that leads to transformation, not just temporary relief. Stick around through the outro for exciting updates, including the launch of Kenneth’s new book The Flow of Five Tiers , upcoming guest interviews, and the release of a brand-new self-paced course: The 21-Day Leadership Reboot .

What separates a one-time workshop from an intervention that actually changes the way people work together? In this episode of Unboxing OD , we explore what it really takes to design effective Organizational Development interventions - those that align with strategy, honor the human experience, and create lasting movement in the system. Kenneth Pearson walks through how to ground interventions in real organizational goals, shares listener and colleague inspired stories from leadership and team-building engagements, and calls out the common traps that even experienced OD professionals can fall into. From overcomplicating the design to skipping diagnosis, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom and field-tested insights. We also dive into the value of integrating feedback loops - not as an afterthought, but as an essential part of how OD work breathes, grows, and evolves. Whether you’re designing your first intervention or refining your approach to systems-level change, this episode is here to support your journey. And if you’ve been listening and thinking, I’ve got a story to tell - you just might be our next guest. Reach out at info@pearsonpearson.llc or connect with Kenneth on LinkedIn to learn more.

Storytelling isn’t just a soft skill - it’s one of the most powerful tools OD practitioners have to navigate complexity, build trust, and move people through change. In this episode of Unboxing OD , Kenneth Pearson explores how stories can transform the way organizations engage with change, strategy, and culture. You’ll get a quick overview of how to simplify complex initiatives through narrative, craft compelling change stories that resonate, and use storytelling techniques to build authentic buy-in. Kenneth also shares a case study where shifting the story helped re-energize a skeptical and fatigued organization.

What happens when we pause, zoom out, and ask: What are we really building? In this special episode of Unboxing OD , host Kenneth Pearson introduces The Flow of Five Tiers - a reflective, systems-based framework for understanding how real change happens inside organizations. Rather than offering another top-down model, this episode presents a fresh, integrated lens for OD practitioners and change leaders seeking clarity in complexity. Kenneth walks through each tier - Foundational Core, Leadership & Strategy, Culture & People, Processes & Systems, and Impact & Outcomes - exploring how these interconnected layers shape the flow of organizational life. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to identify misalignment, strengthen your interventions, and support sustainable change - not just at the surface, but at the system level. Rooted in idealism but grounded in experience, this conversation is both philosophical and practical. Because creating a healthy organization doesn’t start with a policy or a plan. It starts with people, especially the ones willing to ask better questions. The Flow of Five Tiers book will be available in May 2025 on the Pearson & Pearson LLC website, or wherever books are sold.

Episode 13: A Day in the Life - The Key Responsibilities of an OD Professional 12:37

12:37

What does a typical day look like for an Organizational Development (OD) practitioner? The short answer: there’s no such thing as typical. In this episode of Unboxing OD , we walk through the real-world responsibilities of OD professionals - how we move from deep diagnosis to intentional intervention, build strategic trust with leadership, navigate complex political dynamics, and make tough prioritization calls when everything feels urgent. Through the story of Liana, a fictional but deeply relatable OD consultant, we explore what it really means to do this work with clarity, compassion, and impact. From facilitating unexpected conflict to guiding leadership through culture change, Liana’s day captures the human heart of OD: showing up with purpose, listening well, and moving the system - one conversation at a time. This episode is for anyone doing OD work, considering the field, or trying to better understand what makes this role so critical in today’s organizations. If your team is facing change or complexity, Pearson & Pearson LLC offers project-based consulting that meets you where you are - and helps you move forward with confidence. And for those looking to deepen their practice, stay tuned for The Flow of Five Tiers , a forthcoming book that explores the foundational elements shaping organizational life.

Episode 12: Followership - The Unsung Power Behind Great Leadership 10:53

What if the key to better leadership ... is better followership? In this episode of Unboxing OD , we’re flipping the script and turning our attention to a concept that’s often overlooked but absolutely essential - followership . We’ll explore what followership really is (and what it’s not), how it plays a vital role in organizational success, and why developing this skill is just as important as leadership itself. You’ll hear the story of Camden and Elise - two professionals navigating a shift in roles, power, and trust - and how their ability to move between leading and following created a stronger, more adaptable team. We’ll also unpack how OD practitioners can help individuals and organizations cultivate followership as a core capability, and why influence doesn’t require a title. Whether you see yourself as a leader, a follower, or something in between—this episode will challenge you to rethink how leadership really works and how we all contribute to the flow of organizational life.
