In this guest episode of Unboxing OD, host Kenneth Pearson sits down with Bethany Rios, Organizational Development Manager and L&D professional, for a candid conversation about stepping into the world of OD from a background in training and development.
Together, they explore what it means to shift from a skills-based approach to a systems-level mindset, how OD differs from L&D in practice, and why relationship-building and leadership buy-in are essential to long-term success. Bethany shares insights from her journey, including what surprised her most, how she defines success in the field, and what she wishes someone had told her before making the leap.
Whether you're thinking about transitioning into OD or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a thoughtful look at the growth, challenges, and human-centered values that define the field.
So grab a cup of coffee, and join us for an honest reflection on the journey from delivery to design, and from instruction to impact.
