In this paper, we recommend a process for combining turning-point graphing and responsive (semi-structured) interviews to co-explore leadership identity development and meaning-making with college students. Design/methodology/approach: The paper provides student feedback data on the effectiveness of the technique in improving understanding of leader identity and transforming meaning-making. Originality/value: We hope practitioners can utilize this approach to build leadership identity development and meaning-making capacity in college students.Pages 143-154application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalLeadership developmentLeader identityTurning-point graphingMeaning-makingNarrative pedagogyArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1108/jole-01-2024-0019232Sunderman, Hannah [0000-0001-8156-6206]1552-9045
