Challenge & Selection 

 I am a corporate Behavior facilitator and use story telling all the time , in training sessions . It helps me to   set context to the program or sometimes to transition from a topic to another . It could be used to drive   attitudinal change too . There are techniques like Medicic effect , wherein we can derive the learning   from stories which is not related to the industry . For example , a story of dinosaur extinction to set   context for “ Change Management ” module . Employees find meaning and can relate to these stories and   share their own experiences which they may not have articulated earlier . I use their feedback and   experiences to understand their aspiration and guide them to draw a plan to fulfill their interests . I use   these strategies to understand what works best in different conditions , to gain independence and give   clear directions . 

 I was once approached with a training request . The audience was group of frontline leaders who had 5 - 6   people reporting into each one of them . These frontline leaders were recently promoted owing to their   high performance in the individual contributor ’s role . However , in due course of time , most of them   were missing their deadlines in the new role and often spilled their work onto the next day . This was   affecting the team dynamics and ultimately impacting the trust within the team . 

 Application 

 I shared a story with the group about a farmer who had 2 horses . The farmer who was extremely proud   of his 2 horses and were part of his identity since they helped him with all his chores – tilling the land ,   carrying his family from a town to another . He passionately loved his horses and could not imagine a day   without the horses . One day , the farmer discovered oil on his land , he was extremely jubilant . He sold   his land and became a millionaire overnight . The farmer bought his own Brand new luxury CAR . But   guess what the farmer did out of happiness . He tied his car to the horses and preferred the horses to   drawing the car instead of driving the car himself . What stopped the Farmer to drive his own Dream   CAR ? 

 I pause at this juncture of the story to derive reactions from my audience – the group of new frontline   leaders . The story has a huge impact on the group . The reflections from the group about the “ farmer not   letting go of his horses ” was similar to the current group not letting go of their earlier work assignment /   past achievement . 

 Insight & Approach 

 Well , it is indeed an eye opener not just for the audience but also for me . The participants not only are   now more open to learn the skills that will help them to delegate and empower their downline , but also   are drawing a plan for themselves , to learn new skills . The approach of story telling was relatable and   helped me to connect strongly with the participants . The group was comfortable to share their fears or 

 reasons of “ Not delegating ” . The group is aware of the possibilities which they have not explored due to   lack of time . What started off as a story , ultimately led us to explore possibilities , understand our own   apprehensions or emotional blocks and be open to new learnings . 

 The policies are also being revamped to engage the aspirant frontline leaders , to support them with the   transition so as to achieve higher trust within the teams that they will handle in the future . 

 The journey was satisfying for both participants and me , how stories amazingly allows us to gain our   Strength by showing our vulnerable side .
