Some time ago, I read a line by adrienne maree brown LLC that has stayed with me: “You can’t transform systems without transforming relationships.”
Since starting my practice, that truth has only become more evident. I’ve gradually shifted away from short-term engagements and toward the slow, steady rhythm of long-term work—what I now understand as intentional organizational transformation.
One-off sessions can offer clarity and momentum, but they can’t substitute for the kind of trust and insight that comes from walking alongside an organization as it reckons with its own culture, legacy, and potential for healing.
So when I read Justice, Love, and Organizational Healing by Ora Grodsky, I felt deeply seen.
Ora doesn’t just capture what many of us intuit in our work—she names it, affirms it, and gives it a language. She invites us into a way of thinking that blends strategy with soul, analysis with heart. The writing itself is beautifully conversational—reading it feels like sitting across from a generous mentor who’s offering stories, wisdom, and hard-won truths with warmth and humility.
This book is a gift. A deeply grounded offering for those of us doing the slow work of change. Ora invites us to listen beneath the surface—to notice trauma responses, unspoken agreements, and the quiet resilience that lives in teams and communities. Her frameworks don’t demand perfection—they encourage presence, integrity, and deep care.
And as if the reflections weren’t enough, the resources in the back are every organizational development practitioner’s dream. Tools, templates, and thought-provoking prompts that you’ll return to again and again—this is the kind of book that doesn’t stay on the shelf. It lives on desks, gets dog-eared, and shows up in planning sessions and board retreats.
Justice, Love, and Organizational Healing isn’t just a guide for consultants. It’s a quiet manifesto for anyone who believes that our institutions can be places of dignity, accountability, and transformation.
Deep gratitude to Ora Grodsky for putting this out into the world.
If you’ve ever tried to hold both strategy and soul in your work, this one’s worth reading.

Brilliant insights about process consulting
Ora has written the book she wished she had when she started consulting. It demystifies the work, shares vivid examples, offers proven concepts and tools, but most of all explores the depths of the consultant’s inner transformation that is necessary to bring about transformation in the outer world. Her commitment to justice, love and transformation animate every page. This is a book I would recommend to anyone working as a consultant to organizations, deserving to seen a new classic along with Peter Block’s Flawless Consulting.

Ora has become an advisor in my head for my consulting practice via this book. She has offered language that helps anyone seeking to tune into a new way of leading in an uncertain and ambiguous world. This is the kind of book you use as a strategy companion in tackling the range of challenges and opportunities you will encounter as a consultant doing human-centered work but even as an organizational leader who wants to show up differently or meet the moment we're in in a more resonant way. Grateful for this work and highly recommend.
