Today’s share is short and sweet. I’m experimenting with a new, fun way to share key insights about adult development! I’ve noticed how challenging it can be to share the gist of what adult development is (and isn’t) to people who hear about it for the first time.
Quite often, those of us who are passionate about the topic would love to have a simpler way to introduce it to those who don’t have the time or patience to read long articles or find their way through the intricacies of different theories and models. How do we share the essence in a way that doesn’t dumb down what is otherwise a fascinating field of research?
This is one attempt to do just that. This video sits in a new section on the How Grown-ups Grow Up substack - Doodles for Development. As this is very much an experiment, I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback and, most importantly, suggestions about key aspects of adult development that you’d like to see approached in upcoming videos.
Hope you enjoy!
