Coaching at the Edge: Vertical Development, AI and Coaching with Jan Rybeck Heal The Divide Podinar with Alison Whitmire

How do our own experiences and perspectives shape how we see, understand, and approach our clients and their situations?  

Vertical Development, a practice of leadership development, is about expanding and deepening our capacity to see, understand, empathize, and respond in a diversity of situations. And as we grow and evolve in this way, our experience of self, others, and the world shifts, leading to new ways of doing and being, that in turn lead to other changes that we cannot always foresee.  

The research and practice of Vertical Development have been gaining traction in leadership and executive coaching programs. And, we’re excited to have thought leader, Jan Rybeck, join us as our guest for this Heal The Divide Podinar.  

In this episode, we will explore:  

✅ The basic principles of vertical development
