Good piece! As always, the internal struggle on how to live in such a world becomes, on one end incredibly clear to me - and I feel filled with motivation to be a part of that (re)evolution - and on the other end a real downer - especially when I care too much about other things then myself.

Howdy! Now that you've published this, I'll hold on the article I was writing. Let me know what kind of questions and response this triggers. I'll write something that complements and focuses on the outcome of what happened because a professional or gifted adult sought coaching help or tried to learn and implement Vertical Development stages on their own. I'm the storyteller, not the coach.

Thank you, and apologies if the timing of my article threw off your plans! I’m interested too in seeing what questions or responses come up. Your idea to highlight outcomes for professionals or gifted adults who take on coaching or explore Vertical Development stages on their own would make a great complement. Looking forward to seeing how you bring their stories to life!

This is fine, Ron. The whole reason I included you in my interviews about this was to find out if it is working and what are the results. Nobody is calling and asking for vertical development theory and that means we have plenty of room to explore this and find out to what extent it moves the needle for professionals, for communicators, and for adults with traits of giftedness.
