In this episode of How to Strive, I’m joined by Dr Perry Walters to explore the adolescent brain, the science of human development, and how we can create environments that help people thrive.
Drawing on his ASPIRE model, Perry offers a fascinating perspective on six key dimensions of adolescent development:
Autonomy, Self, Purpose, Inquiry, Relationships and Emotions.
Each provides a different lens through which we can better understand what motivates young people, how they learn, and what they need from the adults around them.
We explore how coaches, teachers, parents and leaders can move beyond simply managing behaviour to nurturing independence, building identity, developing purpose, encouraging curiosity, strengthening relationships and helping young people channel their emotions in positive ways.
But this conversation isn't just about understanding young people. It's also an opportunity to reflect on our own lives.
Whether you're working in sport, education, leadership or simply trying to understand yourself and others better, Perry's insights challenge us to think differently about development and the environments we create.
