Scenario

When couples have different approaches to developing T-shaped expertise

My partner and I are both trying to develop broader skills outside our core expertise, but we keep falling into this pattern where I get frustrated when they go deep on their specialty instead of exploring new areas, and they think I'm being scattered when I try different things. We're supposed to be supporting each other's growth but we're actually creating more pressure.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are unconsciously imposing their own learning styles and timelines on each other's professional development journey.
