Our Research: Advancing Knowledge, Shaping the Future

Research serves as the foundation for innovation, progress, and improvement in all fields of human endeavor. It enhances our understanding of the world around us, creates opportunities for solving complex problems, and fosters sustainable growth for society as a whole. Our research efforts create models and educational tools to support students, leaders and organizations in their understanding of narrative identity at work and in life.

Essential Findings

These key insights are presented in two essential works. The first downloadable link offers Dr. Rebelo’s Essay #3, titled “Identity-Based Leadership Storytelling: Rethinking How Purposeful Identity-Based Storytelling Encourages Narrative Work in Business,” which provides the foundational context for the Peak Storytelling Model. The second link features Dr. Rebelo’s complete published dissertation, “Phenomenological Storytelling: How Identity-Based Leadership Stories Serve as an Approach to Integrate Self and Workplace Narratives.”
