Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection     Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . I work with vulnerable populations , the ones who have   a problem with fitness , obesity , weight etc . Many of these people deal with oppression and dysfunction in   every aspect of their lives , they need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to empowerment .   When I work with the people who are depressed about their body we often share stories related to   motivation and achieving goals . With my clients who are not motivated enough and do n’t see any hope   I share stories of my life in order to help them visualize a state of independence , 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 gain more confidence and the will power to achieve their   goals and lead a better lifestyle .     Application     In discussing policy changes with a fitness company I work in , I was trying to explain to them the   benefits of taking a more client focused approach , among other things , and in particular , of recognizing   each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . The company   was in the grip of a culture that provided same solutions for all the people ’s problems and its clients   were failing in this non - empathetic , rigid structure . 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 my sister who is a fit athlete now once upon a time was overweight   and had no confidence . Her football coach understood the problem and sat with her and discussed the   issues she was facing . He got to know that she was unable to manage time and was able to give only less   amount of time to fitness . He helped her to achieve her goals by doing things like bringing small changes   in lifestyle For example , being hydrated throughout , taking stairs instead of the lift , cycling to college   which actually helped her be fit .     Insight & Approach     Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . The next thing happened was I was also not fit and was quite   overweight . So now my sister came to me and helped me by sharing her story to me and helped me my   suggesting things which I could do in my normal routine for e.g. walk till college , sleep for sufficient   amount of time , not sitting for long and the   most important not giving up and be patient and wait for   the results . In such a way a plan which is customized for a single individual works well and helps in   achieving goals faster .     So I told this story to the company , and I think it had a big impact on people there . The policies are being   reevaluated and the fitness trainers are 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 .     I have a design background , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in business . I had no idea this would ever   be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is !
