Becoming the Practice: Integrating Knowing and Doing

As coaches and OD practitioners, we spend our days helping others turn insight into action. Yet even we can fall into the knowing–doing gap, that subtle space where what we know about growth doesn’t always show up in how we lead, listen, or facilitate.

In this experiential session, we’ll explore why this gap exists, what it reveals about our own development, and how we can practice closing it. Through guided reflection, small-group dialogue, and a few surprising moments of self-discovery, you’ll uncover the quiet patterns that keep your wisdom in your head instead of your practice.

Rather than adding more theory, this session invites deliberate, small, real-world experiments that help us embody our craft more authentically and bring our knowing a little closer to our doing.
