The document introduces the competence curve, which illustrates the stages of change that individuals go through and how these affect their self-perception. It references work by Julie Hay linking these stages to the developmental cycle and Eric Berne's concept of physis as a driving life force for personal development. Additionally, it provides links to related topics and encourages seeking permission for public use of the slides.

3. Introduction
• For a long time now it has been
recognised that during any
change people go through certain
stages.
• These stages, as they progress
over time, change the way we are
seen by others and how we feel
about ourselves.

4. Introduction
• These stages can be plotted on
a graph known as the Change
or Competence Curve.
• Julie Hay matched stages in
the competence curve against
stages in the developmental
cycle (Hay 1992).

6. Physis
• The spiral of development is a
metaphor to describe a complex
system and like all metaphors
fails in its description when
pushed too far. Having said this I
would like to suggest that
recycling should not be seen as
going round in circles, rather the
spiral should be seen as moving
upward, powered by the life
force we all have to continue
developing. Eric Berne called this
life force Physis (1971).
