Welcome to Growth Edge Network
So far, the Growth Edge is an idea, a community, and a place to learn—and it’s growing, too!
The Growth Edge is an idea: that between who you are now and who you will be next is a zone of learning and being that we call the Growth Edge. Having company to support you to find and navigate this exciting and sometimes anxiety-producing terrain makes the journey more comfortable and more possible.
The Growth Edge Network (GEN) is a community
It is a global collective of people interested in how the practice and research of adult development theories can change the way we make sense of the world and therefore expand the possibilities for dealing with complexity and change. We write, research, read, and talk about how to offer that support in increasingly helpful ways. The collective is member-led and volunteer-organized. While founded by a few, it is and will increasingly be shaped by those members who wish to create it. Members of the Growth Edge Network can use the network as much or as little as they wish.
The Growth Edge Network offers a place to learn
Here are a few ways members can already do that:
- Monthly conference calls led and facilitated by volunteer members on topics related to adult development, of particular interest to the leader of that call, and on which the leader would like others to engage in support of expanding his or her own and others’ thinking. Click here to have a listen to some call snippets.
- A yearly conference for those interested in deepening their practice and expanding their communities.
- An interactive web site where members can share ideas in forum conversations, post essays, articles, data, and other related work so that others can grow with them.
And the list of ways will grow over time.
