Working With the STAGES Model

Models of adult development haven’t been around that long, but possibly the most complex and constantly evolving of these is the Stages model.
In this conversation with Terri O’Fallon we explore the Stages developmental model, the nuances of the higher stages, the significance of the transpersonal stage, challenges that come with stage shifts, shadows and incongruencies in stages, coaching clients at higher stages, and the potential and difficulty of integrating metaphysical questions in stage development.
