Storytelling 

 Challenges and Selection 

 Storytelling helped me in the previous work where I worked as a LifeStar ! Facilitator and Employment   coach . My tasks were to empower young women who have dropped out from schools ; some were   victims of sexual harassment , rape , family abuse and HIV orphans . As you can understand empowering   this group of people was not easy because their lives were in vain .   I used storytelling , dividing them into   small groups and conduct a storytelling session helped them to identify their potential and discovered   their ability to use their strength to start a small business or secure a new job . My story opened up their   thoughts and they find that they also have stories to share . Each member of the group was supposed to   tell us a story and other member could help her in identifying her strength and weakness , they also   provide constructive feedback on how each participant can work on her weaknesses , as well as use her   strength . My participants were so happy and they liked storytelling a lot . Currently I use storytelling in   problem identification in research project with my students . I use this to help them identify problem   that need to be worked on . I also use storytelling in my professional development , sharing stories with   my elder in my career , it helps me a lot in to visualize the best way to go in a certain circumstance . 

 Application 

 I have testimonies about using storytelling , even Jesus himself used the same approach in teaching His   disciples . I used this method when I wanted to help one of my colleagues who wanted to start a   business of smart agriculture , I told him of a story of one friend who started a business of agriculture in   the eastern province of my country , she wanted to grow pepper , then due to her limited time she   invested a lot of many in irrigation . After six months she harvested 1 ton of pepper , but the revenue she   got from her investment was small . As I was narrating this story the friend sked me a lot of question   about irrigation . I told him that irrigation can be automatized . It turned out that He decided to invest In   irrigation instead of agriculture because he later found that he can gain pretty much money from   irrigation than In agriculture 

 Insight & Approach 

 It is wonderful , because the story opened up his eyes , and through the talk we had we found out that he   can get sponsorship from development fund . I told him how my brother got a fund in development fund   because he has been able to identify a problem that farmers are facing and developed a business plan   which he submitted applying for fund . The Development fund gave him 4 million and 30 % of the fund   was a supporting fund whereas the remaining 70 % was a loan to be paid back in 4 years at low interest .   As I speak now the story we share open up the mind of my colleague who wanted to invest in irrigation .   Since then I have developed a culture of storytelling with my friend and from there we discuss what we   learned from the story . This is a useful tool to use in design thinking when you are still defining the   problem , or designing the solution as a product or a service , or developing the suitable solution before   you deploy it to the market
