How Your Story Shapes Your Leadership w/ Dan P. McAdams

What story are you telling about who you are—and who you’re becoming?

In this episode, Jessy Grossman sits down with Professor Dan P. McAdams, one of the world’s leading experts and field-defining scholars on narrative identity and personality development. Professor McAdams — the Henry Wade Rogers Professor at Northwestern University — has spent his career studying how we weave our experiences into stories that give our lives coherence, meaning, and purpose.

Together, they explore how the stories we tell about ourselves shape the way we lead, adapt, and ultimately leave a legacy — especially during times of uncertainty and change.
