Example Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling is a mean for sharing and interpreting experiences and knowledge in a variety of   cases and groups of people regardless their social or physical background . I use it all the time   in my daily life for the upbringing of my children but also in my work which includes   educational programs to large groups of employees .       One of my work tasks is to educate colleagues in new programs and products of our   organization and additionally to persuade them to use all of them in an efficient way in order   to satisfy client needs .       A large number of employees do not have the time to read and follow the official description   of a procedure related with a new service , method or product .   They often can not find in time   the appropriate instructions to solve their work problems and in their effort to quickly find a   proper solution they become more confused . That ’s the point which I usually appear with my   storytelling tool .     Application     Presenting in my organization educational seminars to my colleagues about the products of   my division , many times I have to face their ignorance about my work and usually their   hostile mood since they believe I am one more person of those who make their work more   sophisticated or complicated . Although there is a well - organized presentation with slides , I   always find a hidden story from our daily working life in each of them .      For example , one of my short stories concerns the case of a client who in the competition   had a service that we could have offered on better terms but my colleague ignored it , as a   result of which the client was dissatisfied and constantly quarreled with him . After telling my   short story there is someone in the audience with questions and there starts the interesting   part of the presentation . People start feeling more comfortable in asking questions and share   with me their similar experiences or problems . In no time they understand the scope of my   presentation , the working procedures I present and how these will make easier the way they   work .       Insight & Approach     In every seminar I manage to solve working problems of years by simply narrating short   stories . After each presentation , I have new stories to tell and enrich my presentation for the   next group . Moreover , people feel comfortable to advise me any time they face such a   problem . By this approach we create a channel of communication and transfer of knowledge ,   from one person to another and we provide immediate solutions to simple everyday   problems . This gives people the opportunity to manipulate time more efficiently and to focus   on more important matters .       This course made me see my little stories as a very useful tool in my work flow .
