In addition to publishing many papers, she has coauthored two books on adult development, creativity, and spirituality: Creativity, Spirituality, and Transcendence: Paths to Integrity and Wisdom in the Mature Self (1999), and Transcendence and Mature Thought in Adulthood (1994).
Susanne coaches individuals in personal and professional resilience, self-acceptance, and consults to various organizations and projects in researching and applying developmental thinking.
Why we chose Susanne for the series…
Jeroen: Throughout my interest in Conscious Business, I have always been intrigued by the relationship between personal development and business potential. Is there a way to measure this development, and what opportunities does this offer leaders and entrepreneurs?
As Susanne says on her website: “Research shows that the level of personal maturity and self-awareness are positively correlated to the kind of life one creates with others at home, at work, and in the community.”
I am very excited to explore this topic in depth during the series.
Diederick: Though I’ve never actually met Susanne, I’ve known about her and her work for a long time. I am fascinated by how she is able to unpack complexity in a developmental way, meaning she has the gift of telling the story of how different people look at the world. That’s exactly what I want to focus on in our conversation with her: what do you see when you look at work, and at waking up, through a developmental lens?
