The video draws on various theories, such as Piaget's stages of cognitive development and Keegan's stages of adult development, to illustrate how individuals develop their professional identity. It emphasizes the importance of mindfulness and self-awareness in understanding and navigating external influences on one's identity, such as social expectations and professional norms. The video also discusses competence, as defined by Miller's pyramid, and how it relates to the development of a professional identity.
