  2. Scenarios used in Future Research and Futures Studies • Possible • Feared • Surprise-free • Used • Disowned • Alternative • Probable • Best case/worst case • Utopia -- Ideal • Eutopia -- Preferred

  3. Research and Researcher in Context • Executive and leadership coaching • Evidence-based interventions • Applied constructive-developmental theory • New alternatives to adaptive challenges • Creation of preferred future selves • Eutopiagraphy • What can eutopiagraphy tell me as a researcher/coach regarding a client’s meaning-making?

  4. Eutopiagraphies: Narratives of preferred future selves with implications for developmental coaching Preferred Future Selves Constructive Developmental Theory Developmental Coaching Implications 21st century life -- a complex adaptive challenge

  5. Methodological Highlights What do you imagine your preferred future to be? Opportunity; risk; success; challenge; role model; important; let go of Prompts inspired by Subject-Object Interview; Member check Process formulation sheets; Peer review

  6. My Research Questions • What can eutopiagraphy tell me about a participant’s constructive developmental stage? • What are the differences among eutopiagraphies that may influence the meaning-making? • How powerful is the intersection between stages and eutopiagraphy? • What are the implications for developmental coaching?

  7. Let’s Experiment Refer to Handout 1 Relative to the words on this sheet, what do you imagine your preferred future to be? Please take 10 minutes to respond on your handouts; then we’ll come back together as a group and discuss

  8. Handout 1: Priming words for preferred future self Opportunity Risk Success Challenge Role Model Strong-stand; non-negotiable Torn Important to me Let go of; release

  9. Handout 2: Constructive Developmental Structures

  10. Handout 3: Process Sheet Example Please refer to Handout 3

  11. Handout 4: Process Sheet

  12. Findings • Participant engagement/enthusiasm • Successful identification of structure and stage • Stage distribution as anticipated • Anticipated use of coach is stage related • Values-based futures • “To-be-lived experience” • Unimagined possibilities • Use of a to-be-lived experience within the context of SOI – “appropriate and intriguingly novel” (Lisa Lahey)

  13. Findings Stage Identification & Distribution Fun; timely; overdue; educational; frustrating; insightful; worthy; share with significant other Extra generation of time Power of Narrated Experience Use of Coach Consultant/Teacher -- Trusted Advisor -- ? Values --Finances -- Integrity -- Community Lived To be Lived

  14. Meaning and Implications • Eutopiagraphy extends application of SOI & Kolb • Applied CDT to Futures Studies • Context-dependent application • Constructive development + leadership + change • Stage-specific coaching; Coach curriculum • Coach as adaptive leader • “One may lead perhaps with no more than a question in hand.” Ron Heifetz

  15. Summary “We should not so much be pushed by the past, as pulled by the future.” Martin Seligman “I am surer now than ever that the process of becoming a leader is the same process that makes a person a healthy, fully integrated human being. And it is the same process that allows one to age successfully.” Warren Bennis • “What are your unimagined possibilities?” Kori Diehl
