Issues that create Blockages

The Arrived Practitioner Been there done that

Isolated Lone Practitioners or Consultants (by choice orby design) which creates little to no outside connectionwith other Practitioners.

Fresh Up Freddies Don t know what they dont knowso they dont reach out or continue to learn

Not staying connected to the field, i.e. not stayingcurrent on whats new in the field.

More Blockages

Not aware of whats being discussed in OD, L&D ortraining circles.

Not staying connected to yourself, losing touch, not

picking up on the little things, getting sloppy (lack ofprep, winging it)

Not infusing any new material or exercises into your tool

kit.

Becoming lazy or apathetic around taking care ofyourself, i.e. poor nutrition, lack of work/life balance.

Symptoms that a CHANGE is

needed:

Frustration - with peers and processes

Impatience - with yourself and your clients

they use to, your feedback changes.You stopped asking for feedback.
