Original Description
Since adult developmental research is starkly under-publicized, clients often are not aware of the new findings about the human condition and professional development this research has unearthed. As a result, developmentally educated professionals find it difficult to sell their niche services which could be of great benefit if acknowledged and understood more widely beyond academia.
This telesession with Special Guest Tim Wachtel will make you better informed about why your developmental offerings may not be asked for or why, if asked for, they are not well understood in their impact on an entire organization. Tim aims to reveal and diminish the "hidden dimensions" of adult development; he will converse with participants and IDM staff about:
- Tim's project to create an International Advocacy and Training Organization for Adult Development
- How IDM educated practitioners can become active in advocacy promoting adult development from a research-based perspective
- How IDM students can begin to train a larger number of trainers in applied adult development in diverse consultancy fields
The structure of the 1-hr seminar is as follows:
- Introduction of participants: Why are you here?
- Introduction of Tim Wachtel
- Background on the impetus behind Tim's Advocacy Project
- Discussion of core topics by all participants
- Call to action

Original Description
This is a free teleseminar on the benefits of developmental and dialectical thinking and listening in coaching, management consulting, and leadership development. Overall, this seminar is about the timely updating of your education to better position yourself in your market niche, and to develop programs to which organizations will respond.
This seminar, led by Otto Laske, Director of IDM, will feature the following topics, guided by participants’ wishes:
- In this time of recession, how can a knowledge of developmental thinking and listening contribute to your effectiveness as a professional beyond present behavioral work you do in your field — and how can IDM help you build your tool kit?
- What are the benefits of working with social-emotional and cognitive data about clients in a) coaching, b) HR, c) management consulting, and d) leadership development — and how can IDM help you position yourself in the market?
To help you answer these questions, graduate students of IDM will be on hand to report on what they have learned at IDM, in their work with global leaders and in large organizations, including:
- How to help senior management tackle questions of strategy execution and talent management by including CDF concepts in organizational projects (for consultants)
- How to help coaching clients on higher executive levels (senior management, CEOs) to not only gain self-insight but open their eyes to the talent around them (for coaches)
- How to help leaders to become sponsors of change and engage with change efforts in an intense and sustained way (for leadership developers).
We will also share our experiences at recent conferences in Europe and South America where IDM was represented.
