Understanding Vertical versus Horizontal Development

Beena Sharma reminds us that growth is always possible, no matter our age. In this conversation, Beena, a pioneer in adult development, shares how life’s barriers can transform into portals, inviting us into deeper self-understanding and compassion. From the birth of her daughter to her decades of work guiding leaders worldwide, Beena’s story is a living example of how challenges become invitations, and how

maturity is less about “getting it right” and more about welcoming all of life with open arms. Join us as we explore the journey of vertical development, the power of self-

compassion, and what it means to see others not as obstacles, but as mirrors that help us discover who we truly are.

✨ A conversation that will leave you feeling grounded, hopeful, and ready to begin again — at any stage of life.
