Hoogbegaafd in praktijk

Rate this book
Veel hoogbegaafde volwassenen zijn in hun jeugd niet als hoogbegaafd herkend. Simpelweg omdat de kennis van hoogbegaafdheid niet bestond of voorhanden was. Velen ervaren uitdagingen in de omgang met anderen én met zichzelf. Hoe leren zij hun potentie te erkennen en te ontwikkelen in een wereld die hen zelden begrijpt?

In de praktijk van werk en zorg wordt hoogbegaafdheid lang niet altijd gezien of als relevant beschouwd. Daardoor krijgen hoogbegaafden vaak niet de begeleiding die ze nodig hebben. Wat kan een begeleider zoals een (loopbaan)coach, psycholoog, therapeut, arbeidsdeskundige, HR-adviseur of leidinggevende hierin betekenen?

In dit unieke boek draagt Rianne van de Ven, coach en zelf hoogbegaafd, inzichten en bouwstenen aan voor succesvolle begeleidingstrajecten. Welke rol speelt de hoogbegaafdheid? Hoe kunnen hoogbegaafde volwassenen aangeleerde patronen doorbreken en nieuwe noodzakelijke vaardigheden ontwikkelen? Bruikbaar gereedschap voor begeleiders én voor hoogbegaafden zelf.

Rianne van de Ven is coach voor hoogbegaafde volwassenen, spreker, trainer en onderzoeker. Ze is één van de pioniers op het gebied van kennis verzamelen over hoogbegaafdheid bij volwassenen en mede-auteur van de bestseller Hoogbegaafde volwassenen. Zet je gaven intelligent en positief in.

This book is an outstanding collection of observations relevant to the discovery and development of adult giftedness. It is also pithy, which I so appreciated! Themes are organised into a structure one can follow and explore on their own, with just enough detail to be getting on with. Very useful for my own development and for my work with others on theirs.

I wish I had purchased a hard copy instead of the kindle version - and may still! Lots of underlines in this one, for sentences and diagrams that resonated with me. (This was the first book I started reading on the subject so some of these passages made me tear up with recognition!).

“Always busy making something and enjoying doing so.”

“Everything arrives at once, fully nuanced, with great precision, and with its full weight.”

“During a meeting, a client’s colleague gives a speech that contradicts what they said in a previous meeting. My client realizes this immediately because they can clearly remember what the colleague said in a meeting four weeks ago. They can also picture it.”

“My clients often tell me that they hate it when others attribute something to new insights.”

“When a gifted person receives and understands new information, they can give it a place in their mind. Therefore, they don’t need to hear the same information twice.”

Everything about top-down learning, the Mozart style of creation, and the diamond diagram of the creation process really resonated with the way my brain approaches problem solving and creation.

“A gifted client switches between different levels of experience and consciousness simultaneously. The mental health professional must be able to connect on all these levels for the client to feel seen, heard, and understood.”

“Gifted people must let go of the assumption that everyone knows, understands, and can reproduce after hearing something just once.”

“…involving others in the process are often the skills to be developed.”

And, as I continue down this rabbit hole of new knowledge, I realize it’s likely a temporary fascination:
“Suddenly giftedness seems to explain everything…that’s fine at first. It’s a mechanism that helps them move forward, but being gifted is only part of their identity. Because this part of their identity has long been overlooked, devoting lots of attention to it can have a healing effect.”

Erg goed boek over hoogbegaafdheid bij volwassenen. Lekker praktisch. En heel herkenbaar want ik doe veel wat Rianne ook doet in coachinsgtrajecten of misschien kan ik beter zeggen dat we veel dezelfde waarden en uitgangspunten hanteren. Ben dankbaar dat Rianne zo open is over haar aanpak en dit met de wereld deelt.
Ook voor hoogbegaafde volwassenen interessant om te lezen (niet alleen voor begeleiders) omdat ze een mooie inkijk geeft in hoe het is om hoogbegaafd te zijn.

Een goed informatief boek over hoogbegaafde volwassenen. Het was af en toe weer een feest van herkenning. Dit boek is vooral geschreven met het oog op het coachen van hoogbegaafden. Van de Ven geeft hiervoor zowel een gestructureerde aanpak als een aantal instrumenten voor diagnose en ontwikkeling, met als uiteindelijk doel om zelfsturing te versterken. Een must voor coaches en therapeuten.

Heel herkenbaar. Sinds een jaar zelf intensief met het onderwerp bezig en fijn om eigen theorieën te herkennen en over gelijke ervaringen te lezen.

Goede concrete tips, met oog voor het proces en hoeveel tijd dat kan kosten. Aanrader voor leidinggevenden met hoogbegaafde werknemers.

This book made me feel seen. I resonated with so much of the content, the stories and the challenges of giftedness.

Wonderful and relatively short book concerning the psychological features and challenges that gifted people have to face. As long as giftedness is not brought to light as the author does during her coaching sessions it works like a Junghian 'Shadow' basically messing up gifted people's life with no apparent reasons. The discovery of one's giftedness is a mind-blowing one full of new heights but also regrets for the past and lost occasions. If psychological mastery is essential for living a good and balanced life, knowing giftedness and the related pitfalls and distorsions (starting with evaluation of others and low self-esteem) is an essential path for the gifted person to run through. The focus is not highlighting how gifted people are smart, but understanding the 'gift' to integrate it into the broader personality. We are far more than our gift, but the whole person development needs giftedness to be recognized and mastered before it actually handicaps us more than being of any help. This book provides all the essential features of giftedness-management and is very well rounded, covering briefly but deeply every aspect of giftedness-related challenges. Strongly recommended.

this book just changed my life. It is a great great tool to strengthen our self-knowledge, specially for those who are in the stage where they just found out they are or might be an gifted adult. Or that they have a gifted person in their lives.
The information is written in a clear, direct and useful way, so anyone who reads it is able to apply it on their daily lives. It will remain at my nightstand for a long long time!
