Dr D. Beth Macy

Beth Macy is an organisational development consultant in private practice near Houston, Texas, USA. The common thread throughout her work history has been change. She has been a manager, leader, or consultant dealing with organisations experiencing difficult issues. These organisations have varied from small to large, private to public, non-profit to profit, health care to manufacturing, educational to cultural. Her curiosity about effective change led her to master’s and doctorate degrees focusing on organizational behaviour and organizational theory. Developing her own competencies first as a manager and as a leader, she then shifted to coaching and consulting other organisational leaders. The work of David Bohm has been instrumental in her research, writing, consulting and teaching for nearly three decades. She teaches dialogue often at the Houston Jung Center and online, hosts ongoing international online dialogues, and is completing a book on the ideas and individuals who most influenced Bohm’s methodology of dialogue.
