Introduction
Life Framing, StoriCompass™, and CulturAlign™ are structured approaches developed by Dr. Lidia Lae to help individuals and organizations translate insight into aligned action.
Grounded in psychology and narrative research, these frameworks provide clarity in complex personal and cultural environments.
Life Framing
Life Framing is the underlying process:
Situate → Structure → Shift → Shape
It recognizes that insight alone does not create change. Clarity must be structured, reframed where necessary, and intentionally shaped into direction.
Life Framing moves reflection into alignment.
StoriCompass™
StoriCompass™ is a narrative mapping framework designed to help individuals and leadership teams examine the architecture of their stories. Drawing on Greimas’s Actantial Model in structural semiotics, it translates narrative theory into a practical, accessible framework for reflecting, realigning, and reconnecting with what matters most.
It provides language and structure for intentional authorship.
CulturAlign™
CulturAlign™ is the Cultural Identity Blueprint.
It maps how cultural experiences shape values across time — past, present, and future — and how those values influence leadership, belonging, and performance.
It supports individuals and organizations in aligning direction with consciously chosen values rather than inherited assumptions.
