Full textFor over seventeen years, I have dedicated my life as both a teacher and an administrator to serving our children, especially our children of color and those of lower socio-economic status. I have lived and felt the successes of our children and teachers as well as the pain of public education. I have striven to be an authentic leader, keeping our children at the forefront of why we do what we must in order to provide ALL of them with equitable access to a quality education and opportunities. This has come at a heavy cost to me both professionally and personally.
During a “time out” in my career, this dissertation granted me an opportunity to reflect and analyze who I have been, who I am, and who I might become. More specifically, it allowed me to take a look at certain life stories of my past, and thus to better understand my professional experiences so that I may work towards becoming a more effective and authentic leader.
This study used an autobiographical framework with a qualitative design to analyze my life-stories and thus address the following questions: • What meanings am I taking away from my life stories? • How do my life-stories help my development as an authentic leader? • How has the notion of authentic leadership helped me understand what has happened to me professionally thus far? • What influence will this process have on who I might become? • Can this strategy help others develop into authentic leaders?
The study notes the importance of personal growth for professional growth and argues that being true to oneself does not necessarily lead to authentic leader development. Authentic leader development requires individual, systematic, and routine reflection on selected life-stories and an external catalyst to promote the discovery of deeper meaning in both the leader and his/her followers.
Oliveira, Marta Ramos. "Weaving life stories : healing selves in native american autobiographical narratives." reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da UFRGS, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10183/16452.
Full textIn this dissertation, I reflect upon Native American life stories building on the hypothesis that, in opposition to Western canonical autobiographies, they present a different conception of self derived from a social positionality marked by different historical experiences and different epistemological and ontological views. My aim is to show how indigenous writers have appropriated a Western model which, in its canonical configuration, was used to sustain narratives of individuation and how they use it to heal historical wounds resulting from the violent colonization process and its consequences so as to envision collective survival. To do that, I briefly revise two foundational moments in the Western development of the genre which, in a first moment, mingle the history of autobiography with Christian confession and then with the process of individuation. From a contemporary perspective, much has been discussed about the linguistic impossibility of saying "I" without bumping into a series of discontinuities and dead ends, which seems to impose the total fragmentation of self to the point where it may seem impossible to utter the deictic pronoun "I" I contrast this canonical history of the genre with indigenous narratives which use life stories to rescue experiences to sustain themselves both as a reevaluation of the past and as an opening to future possibilities. In a second moment, I revise the Western conception of time showing how, despite the fact that several chronosophies that define time as linear, cyclical or non-directional coexist, our societies are structured on the idea of progress, which sustains the binomial modernity/coloniality. In other words, the linear view of time allied to a historical process of subjugation of peoples and territorial conquest has established a model that defines itself as innovative, or state of the art, classifying all other human forms of organization as primitive stages of the same process. Using the paradigm of co-existence, I present other epistemological views, contrasting this linear and progressive time to the ways Native Americans discuss space as a catalyst of the stories that sustain indigenous relationships to the Other. It is important to emphasize that the concept of Other used here encompasses everything which is in relation with the self, including besides other human beings animals, plants, rivers, the land, the sun, and nonphysical entities. Finally, I analyze how indigenous life writing manifests this way of being and its healing potential in Leslie Marmon Silko's Storyteller.

Full textEveryday lives of Swedish Third Culture Kids (TCK) are characterized by theirexperiences of living among worlds. As the Swedish TCKs return to Sweden they try tofind a sense of who they are and where they belong. This thesis examines the effects ofgrowing up among cultures in connection to identity and belonging. The purpose is tounderstand how TCKs perceive themselves and their identity and how this affects theirsense of belonging. The thesis is based on a multiple case study, which examines thelife stories of eleven TCKs who all have lived abroad and now returned to Sweden. Theresearch design was based on a review of the literature on TCKs and Adult ThirdCulture Kids (ATCKs), covering issues such as sense of belonging and identity. Withinthis context we discuss; nationalism, home, traditions and language. First hand datawere gathered through a questionnaire and in-depth semi-structured interviews wereconducted. Later links between the available literature and the personal experiences ofthe TCKs’ were developed. The result of our research is that belonging for a TCK is toknow who they are as a unique person and they find a sense of home in theirrelationships with family and friends rather than a place.

Full textThis qualitative research of the life stories of ten spiritual healers is focused on the threads of their journeys that led them to this unusual line of work, and their descriptions of their inner experiences while they do their work. Spiritual healers use some form of prayer, a communication with the world of spirit, as a significant part of their healing practices. Their stories reveal their controversial beliefs in invisible dimensions and how and why they believe they interact within these dimensions to experience their own mental, emotional, and spiritual healing, and offer this to others. A recurrent theme throughout participants’ lives is their ability to find positive meaning and personal growth through unusual adversity. They all have a strong sense of calling, of life purpose, that drew them to this work in divergent and fascinating ways, many having this awareness even as young children, with self-actualization as an expected purpose and outcome in life.
