Reflection- Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection 

 I work in an organization which has long working hours due to one of the reason being it ’s a startup with   a small workforce . People working here are passionate learners and doers , most of them are excellent at   their job . Our workplace is located at the outskirts of the town , it has been noticed that there is increased   in absenteeism due to medical reason amongst the employees . Thus the detoriating health of workforce   has been posed as a challenge to the organization . We often share stories of our experience with each   other , hence it had been found out that it was because of the poor eating habits that was keeping them   unfit . I decided to use the tool of storytelling to explain the policy making body of our company to   understand the matter of concern . 

 Application 

 I narrated a story of my personal experience to the policy makers . I stated that how me being able to make   up to office and yet feel healthy each day . I started by explaining how in the beginning when I joined the   firm , it was difficult for me to keep up to my good eating habits as the work required me to travel for 2   hours , which meant I had to leave early leaving   less time to prepare healthy meal for myself .   Most of the   time I had to grab a snack from the local shop near the office which was taking toll on my health . This   made me realize that in order to maintain my health , I need to wake up early than usual and prepare meal   that would suffice for the entire day . I also kept a watch that I be hydrated enough and within few weeks   I saw remarkable progress in my health . 

 Insight & Approach 

 After listening to my story policy makers gave it a thought and conducted a small survey amongst the   employees about their eating habits , to the company ’s surprise most of the employees were dependent   on the outside food . Thus our organization decided to outsource the canteen facility service which would   operate within the office premise and would serve heathy meals . This solved the problem of most of the   workforce of our organization , and also the absenteeism rate has declined . 

 This story said by me has helped my organization in a big way , which makes me believe that storytelling   skill is an asset which could be used in any field . A story backed by strong facts and figures by keeping in   mind the occurrence of event will be able to attract more attention to the problem stated and solutions   could be drawn easily . 

 This course has enlightened me , as it has stated storytelling as a tool which would make me realize its   importance every time I try to convince my idea .
