Building the skills of connection and influence are some of the greatest skills we can develop to achieve our life and business goals.    Anything that can give you the edge in better moving people to taking action, understanding them and being able to bridge personalities of people who might not normally get along is an incredible skill. But how do we achieve this skill in most effective way?    Many of us are aware of personality types and generations and how they play a role in how people think. But few people know about “Adult Developmental Stages”    Many of us are familiar with child development theory. The idea that children pass through predictable stages of development. What many people don’t know is that adults have their own predictable stages of development too!    Over 60 years of research and tens of thousands of people studied have proven this to be true over and over again. Each stage of adult development has distinct characteristic traits, fears, triggers, motivators, and world-views.      Discovering the predictable stages of development adults go through will help you get a clearer understanding of why people think and act the way they do through the lens of “developmental maturity” that transcends, age, place of birth, or ethnicity.    After this session, attendees will have a deeper understanding of how adults process the world based on which stage of development they are in and how to best use this knowledge to achieve more with less stress.
