The Stages Of Adult Development – Robert Kegan

Most adults never grow beyond Stage 3 of Robert Kegan’s theory of adult development. In this video I explain Kegan’s 5 Stages of Consciousness from the socialized mind to the rare self-transforming mind and why they matter for self-improvement. You’ll learn how each stage shapes your identity, how the subject-object shift works, and why true growth is about transformation, not just skills. I’ll also share my own experience of moving from Stage 3 to Stage 4, and practical exercises you can use to work on your inner world and continue evolving. If you’ve ever wondered why change feels so hard, or why self-awareness is the real key to growth, this deep dive will give you the framework to understand yourself and take the next step in your personal development.
