Desktop Coach - Adult Development (Follow-Up Piece to "Adult Learning" Posted Recently.)

 

As adults develop, we become more able to understand our own perspective while taking into account the perspective of others and accepting responsibility for our emotions, behaviors, and results (Miller’s Bolt, 1997; Stober & Grant, 2006). The human tendency is to assume others see the world the way we do and that our perspective is the right perspective. As we go about life connecting with people, experiencing events, reading, reflecting and maybe with one or two divine interventions, we come to realize adults have different forms and constructs of how they view the world; and different is not right or wrong, it merely is different.
