Evolutionary coaching for leaders
The document discusses evolutionary coaching and human development. It explains that evolutionary coaching helps people understand what stage of psychological development they are at, what unmet needs may be holding them back, how surrounding cultures influence their development, and supports them in taking actions. The document outlines seven stages of psychological development from surviving to serving and explains how unresolved fears from earlier stages can prevent growth into later stages focused on higher-level needs and motivations like self-expression, connection and contribution.
