The MindShare is a virtual gathering. Seasoned practitioners and seekers, internal and external helpers and managers. Our twice-monthly MindShare meetings provide participants a rich environment for sharing professional experiences and challenges. The topic of each MindShare emerges from the needs and interests of the participants who show up at each session.

During our July 2 MindShare check-in, some participants noted their need to find virtual ways to continue their work during the pandemic, and others described their need to see more clearly how our OD skills and principles can have an impact to help dismantle Racism.

We spent time understanding a Cross-Cultural Equity Lens, recognizing the need for increasing awareness about our own and others’ implicit biases, and practicing how to engage with “others” to invite them to make visible “things you may not know about me that will inform how I show up.” People described several models and readings to support us in doing our own work.

We invite members of Color and those who have been affected by the current turmoil to join this MindShare conversation. We need your contribution to our knowledge, understanding and practice, and seek to hear what is up for you right now and what you need.

Two topics emerged in our June 18 MindShare, check in round describing “what is up for you right now and what you need.” We devoted half of our time to each. The first conversation focused on how we shift to developing clients and conducting business in virtual mode. We shared experiences and resources with each other.

The second conversation continued our conversation from June 4 on how we as the Oregon OD Network can increase our membership reach and diversity and contribute to the capabilities of our members to participate in the extension of EDI values and practices.

At our June 4 MindShare, participants spoke deeply about their experience of the protests and their sense of urgency for speaking out and taking action. We shared ideas about actions and strategies the Oregon OD Network could consider for engaging people of color. We identified ways to offer the OD skills that support respectful understanding and inclusion practices, as we undertake initiatives developed in our strategic planning.

The group expressed a desire to continue this conversation at the June 18 MindShare. We invite members of Color and those who have been affected by the current turmoil to join this MindShare conversation.

Our monthly Mastermind meeting has been going on since last spring and has become a rich environment for sharing professional experiences and challenges. Due to Covid-19, instead of in-person, our recent meetings have been done via Zoom and went very well.

With our new normal, for the foreseeable future, these meetings will now be held online. They'll be called "Mind Share" not "Mastermind." No pre-existing expertise required - come and share your mind! We'll meet twice a month on the first and third Thursdays.
