The STAGES Matrix: Understanding Development
As we grow into adults, we develop the capacity to take on more complex perspectives. This development can continue throughout adulthood and be expressed as emerging abilities to take larger perspectives, see novel solutions, and find unifying themes in life, work, and love.
Terri O’Fallon talks about how we can:
- Learn the differences between major stages of development.
- Determine our own stage of perspective development—and what it means.
- Discover how our perspective can be developed over time.
- Understand how our stage of perspective development can positively influence our work, our relationships, and our self-understanding.

Grief & Loss: Transforming Sorrow into Wisdom
Kim Barta dives into grief and loss from a developmental and practical perspective. Grief and loss have major impacts on us. Our instincts often direct us to try and move away from the pain as the waves of grief crash over us, one after another. And yet, like waves on a real beach, we can move out of the turmoil by going into the waves and towards the calm waters beyond.
In this talk, Kim will discuss how:
- Grief is not a disorder but a healthy process that can help clarify values and uncover your deeper self
- We can move into our grief without getting overwhelmed by it
- Attending to our grief can allow us to uncover the wisdom within it
- Our sorrow and loss can open the doors of appreciation and compassion
