Trust and credibility aren’t just nice-to-haves in Organizational Development - they’re foundational. In this episode of Unboxing OD, we briefly explore how OD practitioners can build influence without formal authority, create psychological safety within teams, and turn resistance into opportunity.

Through the story of Devon, a new internal OD specialist navigating the difference between permission and trust, we uncover what it really takes to earn leadership buy-in and foster meaningful change.

Whether you’re just stepping into the OD space or leading major initiatives without a formal title, this episode offers insight, encouragement, and real-world application for the moments that matter most.
