“We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become.”
– Carl Jung
DEVELOPMENT IS A NATURAL PART OF BEING A HUMAN
There is a growing body of compelling and fascinating research that elucidates how people develop across their lifespans. Development does not stop when a person reaches their twenties, which is what psychologists used to think. Research at Harvard and other academic institutions that began in the 1970’s has uncovered what are called adult stages of development. That research is now being applied to leadership development to help leaders manage complexity, ambiguity, and transformational change.
​
We’re learning that in our fast, changing, complex world, leaders who commit to their own development are the ones who will be more capable of leading transformational change. You can imagine how important this can be for communities, organizations, governments, and the world.
​
In leadership circles, we refer to the movement through these stages as Vertical Development.
There is no set timeline for stage development – everyone moves at a pace dictated by their life experiences, mindset, levels of support, and desire for personal expansion. There is no mandate to “get to” stages beyond where you are, unless it is right for you.
The journey is an unfolding of your identity.
​
Life circumstances can 'ping' you into places where you don't feel you know enough to go forward. This is often an invite into expanding your identity.
YOUR PACE
YOUR EVOLUTION
