Life Coaching’s Post

I first came across Ego Development Theory (EDT) as part of executive coaching in 2016. At that time, I thought I knew what I was doing, and that I was approaching the finish line as a business leader. Exposure to EDT quickly disabused me of that notion, and made me realise that not only did I have a very long way to go, but there was no finish line. For the first time, I had a map for my personal development, laying out what could be, and giving me a way to measure my progress. Reading about the abilities that could be achieved at the higher levels was mind-blowing; a source of inspiration, and motivation to continue to learn and improve. The biggest problem with EDT, was that it provided little explanation of how to progress between stages. The support of a coach was a big help, but not everyone has money to spend on that (though I found it fantastic value), and some might prefer to navigate the path themselves. The lack of “How to” guide is what I plan to address. This is the first in a series of articles that will describe concrete steps to help progress your ego development. Part 1 will cover what EDT is, explain why it’s useful, and provide an overview of the stages. You can find the article here - https://lnkd.in/gv2xmzF8 Additional articles will follow in the coming weeks: - Part 2: The transition from Group-Centric to Skill-Centric, and Skill-Centric to Self-determining, which is the last of conventional stages. - Part 3: The transition from Self-determining to Self-Questioning, and Self-Questioning to Self-Actualizing. - Part 4: The transition from Self-Actualizing to Construct-Aware, and Construct-Aware to Unitive. - Part 5: Important terms used in the transition guides. If you'd like someone on your team who can share the benefits of ego development with your organisation, or you'd like to progress yourself through coaching, please get in touch.
