Episode 242: Transformational Learning and the Hero’s Journey

Join Drs. Cory Shaffer and Brian Selman in a thought-provoking conversation as they explore Transformational Learning Theory. Pioneered by Dr. Jack Mezirow, Transformational Learning Theory provides a cyclical framework to help guide individuals through their own journeys in a healthy and productive manner as their perspectives evolve. Drs. Shaffer and Selman lend both practical understanding and application to an adult learning theory with broader applications for everyday sense-making and growth. Drs. Shaffer and Selman draw comparisons to The Hero's Journey while applying the tenets of Transformational Learning to their experiences in both athletics and corporate environments. Lastly, they provide guidance on how to make your culture more transformational than transactional.
