Storytelling Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling is a tool that I use all the time . I work with active citizens of the country who are vocal   about different social and political issues . Many of these people deal with various psychological   issues in every aspect of their lives but strive to make other ’s ’ lives better , they need to empower   and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding   ways to let them inspire others to improve their circumstances . When I work with teenagers , we   share stories for different reasons . Often they 're full of energy and are so happy to share stories of   their lives with me to connect and they find meaning in sharing these experiences , in a sense . With   my mature clients I share stories of my life in order to help them visualize a state of struggle or   growth , I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes   we use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes . I use this information to   develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to provide them with   opportunities to empower others . 

 Application 

 I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing policy changes with as user , I was trying to   explain to them the benefits of taking a more user focused approach , among other things , and in   particular , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual needs first   and foremost . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can   impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . I told a story about   when I ran an emergency shelter after a natural disaster . Everyone was doing really well except for   one woman whose stress was making her very emotionally volatile . I could tell she needed   attention ; in my mind I decided she would be “ Princess for an hour . ” I made her a cup of coffee and   sat down with her and let her talk . It turned out that her mother , who was with her , had survived a   brain aneurysm and she was terrified that she would fall or that some other crisis would befall her   during this disaster while in the shelter . 

 Insight & Approach 

 Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . Her mother was a calm presence and doing very well . Clearly it   was time for me to open up with my story . I told her how scary it was when my father had his brain   aneurysm in front of me and how I had to get him to the hospital and how difficult and scary that all   was . I shared how he recovered well , and then tied us together , by noting how she and I both have   parents who survived brain aneurysms . This worked really well . She really needed individual   attention for that brief time , and she ended up with that and a true support . She calmed down , her   mother , who had become worried about her , calmed down , and everyone around them calmed   down . Peace reigned again in our little shelter . So I told this story to the user , and I think it had a big   impact on them . The policies are being looked through new lens and their group is going through   new training . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . This course made me see this as a tool in   a new way . When I 've done it before it was really " ad hoc , " but now I can prepare ahead and think of   stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them .
