Show profile Hide profileAiden Choles is a co-founder and the managing director of The Narrative Lab, a niche organisational development and research consultancy based in Johannesburg. With degrees in psychology and theology, Choles has traversed industries and established careers in secondary education, human resource management, public speaking, facilitation, change management, research and consulting.
Prior to getting TNL off the ground, Choles trained as a narrative therapist, which inspired a deep curiosity about how people think and make sense of their lives. Since people spend most of their time at work, Choles set out to explore the question of 'why shouldn't workplaces provide a sense of meaning and purpose?'
It's within this context that Choles decided to specialise in the use of narrative as a way of understanding organisational culture. According to Choles, narrative plays an important role in how people make sense of the world. By harnessing the power of conversation and narrative, organisational leaders are able to discover, connect and leverage off the value their people bring to their organisation.
He is also an accredited StrengthsFinder Talent Guide, and in this capacity, Choles enjoys working with individuals and teams in discovering their strengths. By helping teams rediscover who they are and what strengths they possess, Choles believes that teams can work together more effectively.
