A PODCAST ABOUT THE MESSY, BEAUTIFUL WAYS GROWN-UPS GROW UP.
Researchers , practitioners and thought leaders explore turning science into the day-to-day practice of adult development in teams, homes, organisations and life.
Neuroscience and Vertical Development
While empirical evidence for adult development theories is robust, we still have much to learn about the cognitive and neurological substrates of human development. What changes in our brain when we develop vertically? How can the idea that humans evolve in ever-increasing stages of mental complexity and perspective-taking be reconciled with research on neuroplasticity and cognition?
I was very excited to step into this fascinating in-between space together with Johan Mellerup Traekjaer a cognitive scientist with deep expertise in adult development.
Developmental Coaching Starts With the Coach
Therapists, Coaches, Facilitators – all have, I believe, a big responsibility in doing the work of development for themselves, just as they do it with their clients. Scaffolds like mentoring and supervision go a long way to keeping us honest and evolving, but so do our own efforts, day in and day out. But what do those efforts look like? What does it mean to ‘embody the work’?
In this episode, I explore these very questions with my dear friend and fellow coach, Priya Ahuja.
