In this episode, Kathy welcomes Dr. David Drake, founder of the Moment Institute and a pioneer in narrative coaching, to delve into the fluid nature of identity. David shares his compelling journey, from joining MENSA to surviving a near-fatal car accident, which led him to reassess what truly defines identity.
David and Kathy explore the concept of identity as something ever-changing rather than static. David introduces the views of Robert Bly on the 'shadow'—the parts of ourselves suppressed from a young age—and stresses the importance of reclaiming these aspects in the second half of life. He underscores the need for a more open, learner-focused mindset, both personally and within organizations.
Their discussion traverses the challenges of personal transformation, co-creating mindful environments, and navigating professional identity's impact on learning and adaptation. David explains his innovative approaches, including narrative release practices and a map exercise designed to help individuals uncover the impact of significant life events on their identity.
In this episode, Kathy and Dr. Drake discuss:
- Understanding and Evolving Identity
- The Impact of External Experiences on Identity
- Creating Learning Communities
- Methods for Growth and Learning
- Reflecting on Diverse Perspectives and Cultural Narratives
