What you’ll Learn
Kegan & Laske’s Adult Development Model
You will learn about Robert Kegan’s and Otto Laske’s Harvard-researched model on the lifelong development of the adult as an Evolving Self.
This model will be at the heart of giving feedback about the client’s current inner position in their life, their capabilities and strengths as much as what is difficult or even out of reach for the person.
Where you are as an Evolving Self using your own Developmental Profile
We are currently in a development of a dedicated coaching service based on a self-assessment of inner wisdom. All participants become BETA testers for StoryMatcher™ Inner Navigation content with the opportunity to take the test themselves before the training starts. During the training you will learn how to read and understand your own developmental profile feedback report.

Testimonials
Coaching re-invented: I truly loved the proposed new approach and the hands-on learning path. It definitively was a developmental journey!
Willi Studer, Source of Proviatus Ltd
I like the report’s format: It’s easy to understand and a perfectly pragmatic starting point for inner work, even though the underlying model itself is so sophisticated.
Dr. Nina Johanna Haltern, Director People Development , Tengelmann Twenty-One KG
The context of this model helped me to perceive the development stage of my clients much better and helps me to evoke their next development step!
Martin Rüegg, Martin Rüegg Coaching
What you’re doing is to help people to move into the complexity of many ways of seeing the world. Each one of these developmental phases is another way, another perspective to see the world, which builds to a whole. That’s what we need!
