Find Your Story

Using self-storytelling to develop better self-awareness as a leader

Have you ever reflected upon what has shaped your life story & how ;

- family background

- childhood experiences

- teachers & role models

- friends, relatives, books & other influences

If you have never reflected, then do it today itself. Better self-awareness creates better leaders.

In fact self-awareness is one of the hottest topics in leadership these days. Self awareness is also necessary before you start your personal branding journey.

Find Your Story

I do an interesting exercise with clients and students, which I call as “Find Your Story”, where they write down major influences in their lives and how these influences have shaped them personally and professionally.

The participants are asked to fill a questionnaire which has several questions to reflect upon such as ;

a)?????Any lifetime lesson you learnt from your parent or teacher or family member.

b)?????How has your parents’ occupations impacted you? (eg if either of your parents are working in armed forces, you are likely to be self-disciplined)

From Self Storytelling to Better Self Awareness

When we pen our stories, we begin to understand ourselves better. We begin to understand which experiences have shaped our personalities and why we have become what we have become. We understand our own biases, thought processes and emotions. We understand the stories behind our strengths, weaknesses and emotional baggage. And when we understand ourselves, personal development becomes easier of course.
