Coaching to Stage Development and Leadership Presence
This course will introduce you to the conventional and post-conventional stages of adult development with an emphasis on their importance to coaching. This framework is critical for your understanding of humans and how they grow and change. You will leave with a deeper appreciation for the distinctions between horizontal growth and vertical development, as well as tools for facilitating each. We will also explore how the meaning-making stage of the coach can influence the coaching relationship and coaching outcomes. Finally, we will draw connections between stage of development and leadership presence.

Students will have the opportunity to complete the Maturity Assessment Profile (MAP) and receive a report describing their current stage of development. This report will be used in the fourth class session when students explore how to skillfully meet their clients at their stage of development. The MAP was created by Susanne Cook-Greuter, Ph.D., and is a rigorously researched, highly respected assessment tool for measuring adult stages of development.
