Asynchronous Development in Neurodiversity-Inclusive Coaching
A Coaching Master Class with Kate Arms, CPCC, PCC and Tracy Winter, Ph.D., PCC
Cognitive, emotional, and behavioral lines of development occur independently of each other. Neurodivergent individuals frequently experience unique patterns of asynchronous development due to their particular neurodivergences.
The vast range of neurodivergent developmental experiences can make effective coaching more difficult.
As coaches, we strive to meet our clients where they are. Asynchronous development challenges our assumptions about human development and makes it harder to understand where our clients are. By incorporating the lens of asynchronous development, we learn to separate developmental areas. This allows us to see and reflect our clients more clearly, offering thema flat mirror rather than a funhouse mirror.
