Testimonials | What makes IODA special for me?

"'I was so warmly welcomed at my first IODA conference, and knew I had found a home when I heard someone say ‘we are united by our differences."

"What is the magic cocktail of the IODA community? It is simply the people. During exceptional conversations people shared their passion, their perspective and their real presence with me”

"I find 'myself' in this space. There is learning, fun, laughter and happiness. Lots of reinforcement for my thoughts and ideas happens within IODA. Naturally my insights occur in this setting very easily. This is one more community that has shaped me for what I'm today. Thank you”

"IODA helps to develop the wisdom of OD practitioners and to disseminate OD in contexts of conflict and need. Here at IODA I am always challenged regarding the heart of our effectiveness which is 'the self as instrument"

"I fell in love with the IODA community during its South African World Conference in Cape Town in 1993. I felt instantly that this connection would be with me forever."

"As a US-based member, IODA clearly shows me the range and power of global OD principles and practices. Most important, though, I now belong to an open, welcoming community of global colleagues who continue to show me the true purpose of our work."

"What makes IODA stand out from other organisations is that no matter where you are based in the world, you can participate in OD discussions, events and learnings. I personally love that I can reach out and learn from other OD practitioners across the globe."
