This is a great complement to your book, Olga, which I loved. Thanks for continuing to share your personal and professional developmental journey. Your work connects very directly with the kind of work that our firm does in organizational settings, drawing from Robert Kegan's adult development theory and the "immunity-to-change" concept--and I will be introducing your book and ideas to our corporate clients as research-based reinforcement for idea that change and growth are possible!

"To me, this is really reassuring, because it means being highly organized or very outgoing could make you as successful as being really smart." This is great to hear :)

That's so interesting! I'm curious to know whether some personality traits are more fixed than others, though. It seems like making yourself more extroverted would be hard to do because even if you can choose to be sociable, you can't necessarily choose to prefer being around people.

I am a co-author on that paper by Personality Ninja Master Brent Roberts, and I am tickled to see you citing it in such a compelling way here!
