M.Phil. (Personal and Professional Leadership) / People are storytelling beings and storytelling has been associated with improved self-awareness. It has also been indicated as a way to uncover patterns of culture, behaviour, communication, the sharing of knowledge, and understanding in different ways. If storytelling has such value, why is there so relatively little research on the effect of storytelling on self-awareness that could, in turn, lead to the development of personal mastery on life dimensions such as spirituality, mentality, emotionality and physicality?

Even more so – if storytelling leads to self-awareness, storytelling could be the way through which self-awareness towards safety might be raised in an organisational context. The aim of this research was to describe what effect storytelling has on selfawareness in the development of personal leadership; to explore whether storytelling could be positioned within the internal life dimensions of personal leadership and lead to self-awareness; and what meta-insights on storytelling could be presented with the effects it has on self-awareness and safety-related self-awareness in the form of a framework? It is my view that, although storytelling is widely researched in social science, it still lacks an integrated framework that explains the effect of storytelling on selfawareness in the development of personal leadership, especially in an organisational context. The first motivation for this research was to investigate and establish whether storytelling leads to self-awareness. The second motivation was to generate insight and knowledge by relating storytelling to self-awareness within the internal life dimensions of personal leadership. Thirdly, to develop a framework that provides meta-insights on self-awareness – safety-related self-awareness in particular – through storytelling...
