Case Study: IODA Webinar and Online Conference Partnership
In fall 2019, I was in Chile attending the IODA (International Organizational Development Association) conference. There, I and then President Michelle De Bruyn from South Africa partnered up to pilot an online webinar experiment to engage IODA members between conferences. Each quarter, we brainstormed topics we felt had true international appeal and put out a call to the community with members on five continents to present.
I facilitated the webinars, which were popular and heartwarming. People brought open hearts and minds from around the world on these sometimes very early mornings and late evening presentations. Once COVID impacted the world, the webinars were even more important to keeping the community connected.
Topics included:
Climate Change and Organizational Development, February 2020
OD Tools and Embodiment Practices in Turbulent Times, April 2020
Creating Coherence, July 2020
Creative Destruction and New Beginnings, January 2021
When the reality of COVID lockdown became clear, the IODA Executive Committee decided to postpone the 2020 annual conference for the first time in the organization’s history. Michelle, former IODA president Peter Kalmar (Hungary) and I brainstormed via Zoom to create the first ever online IODA conference.
Part of IODA’s magic is coming together across continents, hemispheres, and timezones. A three day event was planned, with a different global focus each day. I facilitated the first day, focused on the Americas. A favorite moment was the tech check the day before. I was on Zoom in the US, working with tech support in Ghana and Brazil, and presenters in Chile and the US. It was crazy chaos at its most magical.
Here’s to connecting the world, one heart at a time!
“It was a delight to work with Jen on the IODA webinars. Jen helped to conceptualize and bring to life what had just been a loose idea initially, and was a great partner in identifying webinar themes that would speak to the issues and interests in our community at specific moments in time. Jen also facilitated the webinars in a way that enabled honest and open sharing of ideas and knowledge, and warmth and community building to flourish.”

Retreats
I also co-facilitate with Francis Rico, group energy transformation journeys in the beautiful Beartooth and Absaroka Mountains in Montana and Wyoming, USA. The vast wilderness both purifies our awareness and reflects our own inner wildness and the unexplored possibilities of our innate creativity. We visit waterfalls, rivers, canyons, high plateaus, sweeping vistas, and tranquil meadows over three days and two nights. It’s an incredible journey with profound opportunities to release blocks and recognize your true unconditioned nature.
“Journey into Eternity is a beautifully crafted experience through the wild landscapes of Montana & Wyoming with a deep-hearted community. With Jen and Francis’ teachings, I was able to connect to the timeless part of me, that still resonates today and enriches all the choices I make in my life.”
Emily Griffin, Senior Employee Experience Designer, Microsoft, USA
“I am so very thankful for the opportunity to commune with the divine – through nature’s spectacular ever changing elements, connecting deeply inward and expansively outward; all while journeying with my fellow sacred travelers. We laughed, we played, we breathed, took pauses, went deep and then sky high. We were present to ourselves, the wonder of life and to each other. The indelible experience left me feeling enriched, rejuvenated and integrated in a new dynamic way, in love with life. I found myself forever changed, vibrating newly, refreshed at my core.”
Barbara Novak, Senior Faculty Compassionate Leaders Circle
“I highly recommend Journey to Eternity! It’s a fun and powerful experience in “practical” shamanism. Francis is an impeccable mentor of the seen/unseen worlds and lovingly guides us in deepening our experience of Life! Jen joyfully shares her love of the Beartooth Mountain range assisting us in connecting and grounding in the energies of this magical Land! PLUS all the “creature” comforts are handled!! If you have any inkling at all of attending, DO IT!!!”
Abby Leach, Practical Shaman and Mental Health Therapist
“I have done many transformation trainings, but few have so adeptly tackled the process of integrating change into my daily life. Attending Jen’s retreat and learning her 5 step process helped me to understand how to approach transformation in an enjoyable way that actually works.”
April Nishimura, COO, Nonprofit Director, Washington
Praise for Jen’s Workshops
“I really enjoyed the workshop! I felt a great peace and an opening, softening of my mental state being in that space and energy. I appreciated the focus of five areas. Each topic opened up a unique part of my conscious awareness. I enjoyed the way you let the workshop happen spontaneously within the structure and didn’t try to force the class into a preset track. Many things happened in the group field that were vital. Thanks again for the class!”
Eric Ramsey, IT Consultant and Luthier
“I found your class fascinating and you are an incredible teacher!”
Kim
“I train in Aikido where victory is defined as having two parameters – speed and power. I learned in this class that speed actually means slowing down when necessary, because going slower gets you there faster. You cultivate more awareness and presence and can respond more elegantly. I also realized that force and power is about recognizing your weaknesses and shadow, so you can act more effectively and truly create positive change.”
Eda Türetken, PhD, Professional Coach and Trainer, Istanbul, Turkey
Praise for Igniting Substantial Change Online Class
Ann and I taught the two month long Igniting Substantial Change online class several times to a warm reception. Takeaways included:
The latest tools from neuroscience and the field of quantum change
Perennial wisdom practices that evolved over thousands of years for cultivating presence and embodying change
An evidence-based approach that helps you:
Expand your leadership ability
Cultivate resilience
Deepen your capacity to navigate through high levels of complexity and ambiguity
Life strategies based on the new science of positive change
The opportunity to shift seeing yourself as a problem to be solved to a mystery to be lived
Alignment with your higher intention for positive outcomes
“The Igniting Substantial Change course came at an auspicious time for me as I was embarking on a whole new life. Not only did the course help me deal with the many changes extremely well, its reach helped me heal my past and really establish a safe pathway forward for me to fill with my developing plans. As a pair, Ann Clancy and Jen Freeman bring something special to the course. Their mutual affection and respect is clear, and soon we were all enjoying genuine trust and openness with one another during the presentations and discussion sessions alike. I highly recommend this excellent course.”
Christopher W. Fugate, Consultant, US
“This class has been very valuable and transformational for me. In about the second week I had an “aha” moment about balance in my life. Then I did the strengths finders and another moment of WOW I have some talents and gifts that I must start recognizing and using both in and out of work. I don’t know if I would have been able to stop myself and think about these things without this group’s help and time.”
Melanie Schwarz, Director of Marketing
“Jen and Ann do a wonderful job of encouraging focus on specific, actionable changes to make in your life. They help make connections between your existing thought patterns and greater forces at work in the universe, providing inspiration and practical exercises for experiencing the world through a new lens.”
Shari Cravens, Director, Product Management, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
