Reflection : Storytelling Tool 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling is a versatile tool that is an essential part of every organisation . It helps them 

 create , build , and help people connect with their brand . Apart from organisations , every 

 institution , service or even an individual is defined by a story . Stories help bring people 

 together , unites them towards a common cause , and/or conveys a message . It targets a wider 

 audience and builds on emotional connect by creating a ‘ cause ’ . 

 I ’m a student and use storytelling often as part of group presentations in college . I study 

 human resource management and the course often requires us to develop or create new ideas 

 or strategies for business and resource management . Here is where story telling comes handy . 

 I use it to weave a story that helps others connect with my strategies . It helps them visualise 

 my idea of the plan . I however , face challenges with building a flow throughout the story . It is 

 difficult for me to build suspense and intrigue into the story that often fails to keep the 

 audience hooked . My stories often fail to create an impact and be compelling like they 

 should . 

 Application 

 I used the tool of storytelling in one of my presentations where I tried to explain a business 

 strategy by creating a story of two friends , A & B. “ Both these friends studied in the same 

 class . However , due to an unfortunate reason , A could not appear for their final examination 

 tests . Instead he was asked to give all the tests at once when he returned , due to which he got 

 less time for preparation for all the exams equally as all other students . Coincidently , B was 

 passing by the room in which his friend , A , was giving the examination . The teacher stopped 

 B and asked him to invigilate friend A while she went to use the washroom . A breathed a sigh 

 of relief on seeing B in the room and immediately asked B to let him cheat . B also happened 

 to be the class representative and had an additional responsibility to be honest to his job ” . The 

 audience was then asked what B should do , whether fulfil the responsibility of being a good 

 friend or of being true and honest to his duty ? The story was used to explain how at times in 

 life and business , people have to make tough choices in life that seem equally important and 

 yet , one has to be chosen . 

 Insight and Approach 

 The storytelling technique really helped people personally connect to the situation . It built 

 better engagement as people listened carefully . It helped build a positive sense of energy and 

 passion in the room . There was keen listening and eagerness to reach the end of the story . 

 Further , asking an open - ended question in the end helped them to think for themselves and 

 indulge in better problem solving . 

 Through this course , I have understood how to hone my skill of storytelling . Essentials of 

 telling a good story include knowing your target audience and ensuring that the story makes 

 sense to them , a clear sequence of events , and having moments of   reflection . Further , I need 

 to build on connecting the different parts of the story better to weave a connection .
