As you work on your personal growth, do you sometimes ask yourself, "How much more work is there to do? Will I ever be finished?" Or, do you occasionally catch yourself thinking, "I am so much more advanced in my personal development than other people!"? Perhaps you're someone who can relate to this—a colleague follows a personal development program or attends a retreat and comes back transformed. You try the same program and feel no different.
Personal growth is like learning to play guitar. It involves distinct stages, each requiring different skills. In stage 1, you learn the notes. In stage 2, you learn about the strings. Then, you progress to applying the notes to the strings, and so forth.
Why is this useful to know? Knowing this, and understanding these stages helps you determine where you are in your journey and discover the steps and tools that will best support your improvement.
In this podcast with Mark Vernooij we touch upon the concept of "socialised" versus "self-authored". This worksheet expands on this, outlining the five stages of adult development as described in Kegan's Constructive Development Theory.
Happy self evaluating and evolving!

Why should you care about the future of leadership? Well, because that's your future. Whether you're already a leader or aspiring to be one, knowing where the job is headed is pretty crucial. And if you're part of Gen Z, there's a 93% chance that you're already dipping your toes into entrepreneurship, which means leadership is likely in your future too.
We talk about purpose and profitability, about leading and motivating teams, the skills that will define success in the future, driving effective change, meta skills, Regenerative Practices, and so much more.
