“We’re trying to become our best self, not our worst self,”

Dr. David Jamieson, President of NTL

Who am I? How well do I know myself? How do I relate to others?

These questions are foundation to the concept Use of Self, developed by Organization Development practitioner of over 40 years and recipient of the Organization Development Network Lifetime Achievement Award, Dr. David Jamieson, and colleagues.

Dr. Jamieson and I talk about how Use of Self is essential in being the best we have to offer impacting relationships, the help we give to people, and even the relationship with ourselves. Dr. Jamieson shares that Use of Self provides a safe space to pause, mindfully reflect, make needed adjustments, and continue to be our best self serving, helping, and leading.  

A concept beginning with developing leaders, Dr. Jamieson’s research expands to creating a Use of Self assessment instrument – people in a leadership role can contribute to this study at >> Use of Self Leadership Research Study. We cover embedded learning, healthy work cultures, trauma-informed mindsets, psychological safety, mistakes about assumptions, and authentic curiosity.

Listen. Be present. And Go Beyond!

Dr. Deb
