Description
Gifted? Me? Unbelievable! Most gifted adults are unaware of how bright they are and how it affects their lives. Regardless of whether they were ever identified as such, those who are gifted remain so as adults, even if their giftedness goes unrecognized by anyone, including themselves. Like children, adults go through life stages, and gifted adults seem to encounter these stages earlier and more intensely. This interactive session describes characteristics of gifted adults along with issues they may encounter and tasks involved at various life stages. The focus is on exploring the meaning and ramifications of giftedness throughout the lifespan.
