Ora Grodsky has seized the time and honed the written word to deliver and share the depth of her life experience and heart. This compilation of life’s work, her book, is a guide to building upon and enhancing a pillar of justice…the pillar of love. Ora guides us away from the vortex of the inauthentic fad of consulting…into the light of life practice and service leadership built on a foundation of love. While never leaving out the gift of self-healing into love…as a prerequisite for being love’s conduit. ~ Joyce Johnson Shabazz, Evolution LLC

Justice, Love, and Organizational Healing: A Guide to Transformational Consulting is both inspirational and eminently practical--not only 'how to' but 'why to.' Profound concepts like love and justice are skillfully integrated with everything from how to structure a consulting engagement to dealing with resistance and setting fees. Equally valuable to consultants, leaders and all those interested in transforming organizations. ~ Robert Gass, Ed.D., founder of the Rockwood Leadership Institute
An amazing piece of work! A gift to consultants of all stripes – one that will enrich their practice…and their lives. Wise, informative, practical, generous, humble, and provocative: a challenge to ground one’s practice in the values one professes to hold dear. In Ora Grodsky’s case, this translates into the primacy of Love and Justice in her work and life. ~ Barry Oshry, author of Seeing Systems
As a young man, I distrusted most organizations. However noble their mission statements, most seemed driven by self-interest, self-promotion, and self-protection. So when I first heard people talk about the power of love to transform organizational life I was a skeptic. But as I came to know the work of people like Ora Grodsky—people who bring intelligence, compassion, long experience and proven practices to the table—my skepticism was replaced by hope for the future. At a time when institutional distrust is unraveling the fabric of democracy itself, we need that hope. I know of no better book than Justice, Love, and Organizational Healing to energize, edify and guide anyone who cares about the integrity of the organizations on which we depend. ~ Parker Palmer, author of On the Brink of Everything, Let Your Life Speak, and Healing the Heart of Democracy
