Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection   Storytelling is about creating emotions and values , connecting with people through things that are   meaningful . Storytelling is a great tool to work within a company . Storytelling is an even better   tool to work on a business that work with people from different backgrounds and goals . I work in   an English school for international students from all over the world . These students came to the   United States to improve their English for different purposes . Most of them , have struggles and   deal with a different challenge almost every day . They are not simple customers to work with , not   because of their behaviors , but because it is very hard to find standards and common sense to   understand their real needs and expectations .    The reason why I chose storytelling to work with in this assignment , is because storytelling really   helps our management group during brainstorming sessions and to come up with decisions that   benefit our audience . Other than that , storytelling also helped me during my time working directly   with students in our admissions office . I used to hear them , understand them and share stories that   could somehow be useful to them and inspire . Besides knowing how important is to listen and talk   to our customers , I also had the advantage of being an international student myself in the past . To   be able to share my experiences with them , in most of the time , opened their minds to a brighter   future . Because of the experience with our students / customers , it helped me to bring new   perspectives during our meetings . At some point , other managers would not understand why   something should be a certain way , but after telling them a few stories , it made sense to them .      Application   During my time working with admissions and students ’ services , I spoke to a student that had no   motivation and was thinking about giving up of her studies . She claimed that the dollar got very   expensive comparted to her own currency and that she had no hope to improve her English and   achieve a master ’s degree ( her primary goal ) . After spending some time hearing her out , I decided   to open up and share my own personal story . I explained to her that I came from the same country   as she did , studied in the same language school , and then under similar circumstances than her , I   finished my master ’s degree in a good university . After showing her the way and my personal   experience , the student finished her studies , graduated from our school and got accepted with a   scholarship to a very good university . After years , she stopped by my work and told me how our   conversation changed her life .   Storytelling was also used in a very important meeting with our CEO to review and update our   prices and policies . Apparently , our CEO came to the meeting with a mindset , not willing to give   up of her ideas . After hearing everything she had to say , I suggested something else and she totally   ignored my idea . Once again , I tried to make a point , but this time , bringing a real person story and   how this person would react if the new set of rules would apply . After that , the company ’s CEO   gave up of the original idea and we came together with a solution .      Insight and Approach   After taking this course , it made me realize how important is storytelling and how involuntarily I   was already using it in my job . I feel confident of using this tool and I wish that all people could   understand how important it is . Having more knowledge of this tool , will allow me to share my   insights with colleagues and not only show them the way towards a better decision , but also make   them apply for their daily work . To understand the cause of our daily challenges , allow us moments 

 of reflection , create energy and passion among our team , and make them understand that there is   always a way to solve our issues , it is important to use this amazing tool called storytelling .    I have never been a creative person , but guess what ? Great ideas come out of storytelling .
