EXAM REFLECTION – STORYTELLING 

 Good Morning to One and All , 

 So I have decided to write my reflection on Storytelling . 

 CHALLENGE 

 Storytelling can be used as a method to teach ethics , values and cultural norms to   everyone . It is that one word which brings interest to everyone . I am a student   doing my Bachelors in Commerce , as an individual I am a person who is very   scared of speaking in front of huge gatherings but now as I have many challenges   in my college where I should not only speak in front of everyone but also be bold   enough to face it . In the beginning , that is when I was in my first year I was very   scared and stammered a lot and was very anxious . It took me a lot of time to   overcome this but I had to figure out something , that is when I came up with   storytelling . I feel this one is different from the others . The word ‘ story ’ only gives   people different kind of excitement . This type can be used by anyone , anywhere   because you can talk to your elders telling them a story which would even involve   them and make them feel that they have someone or even speak to your   classmates by giving them an example and making them understand what I would   like to say . This particular aspect “ Storytelling ” would make us stand apart from   the others . 

 “ Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world and in action   these days . ” 

 SELECTION 

 The reason I chose “ Storytelling ” from the other design thinking tools is because I   feel that this would help any person and let them connect with the topic and   understand the content which we would like to express without any conflicts and   confusions . It would even help them involve and guide us if any changes are   needed . The story that I heard from my professor about IBM was very nice and   interesting and at the end while choosing my tool for reflection I did n’t have any   second thoughts because this was apt for my way of learning and conveying   things to others . 

 APPLICATION 

 So I have a story about using storytelling in my day to day life . 

 As I have mentioned before I am student and one particular day we had a seminar   and everyone had to attend it . Every student from different streams attended it   and it was a seminar about “ Cyber Crimes ” . As the seminar started everyone were   interested to know about it and were listening to the speaker as it was general   questionnaire session which everyone liked and everyone was involved in it . When   the actual session begun everyone became restless especially the ARTS students as   they felt that it was boring and it was not for them . The speaker continued and at   the end as he felt that most of them were not concentrating and became restless .   He asked few of us from the audience to come and explain all that he had spoken   till then in a different manner so that everyone would understand what has been   explained since then and no one would go away just like that without knowing the   cause of being present there . So 2 or 3 girls were given a chance among which I   was given a chance to speak so before going onto the stage I decided how to   narrate my story . 

 I gave them an example of a movie which was related to cyber crimes and   when only few people could relate to it . I gave a brief explanation of the story and   then connected that to the topic and to all that the speaker had told us during   that short span . That is when people had that smile and the room was so calm and 

 everyone was listening to it including teachers . So this was my way of applying   storytelling in my daily life . 

 INSIGHTS AND APPROACH 

 The previous incident in my life not only gave me a little confidence to speak in   crowds but also helped me apply the most effective designing tool – storytelling in   my daily life . I also understood that design thinking helps us to solve a wide variety   of problems . Everyone present in the room including the speaker has given me a   loud applause and that feeling itself was so special . The speaker was so happy   with the way I approached the other students and made it an interesting session .   All the tools of design thinking are equally interesting and can be used everywhere   for example in our corporate jobs , lectures and even while giving presentations as   this will make it much more easy and interesting . 

 After that session my approach towards design thinking has changed and I will   even use the other tools especially Mind Mapping and Visualization . As I feel that   gives a different way of thinking about a problem . When we show our ideas in a   Mind Map manner then everyone else ’s understanding towards the problem   would be the same as mine and if any changes are needed will be made and this   will make everything easy . In this competitive world using this would be the best   way to exhibit our talents and achieve our goals . 

 I would like to thank my professor Jeanne Liedtka who changed my whole   perspective towards design thinking . I learnt a lot from this course and would love   to keep learning and implementing them in my daily life .
