The Magic of Storytelling 

 Challenge   As an educational leader social entrepreneur , I wanted to organize an international   conference of English language teachers in a small growing town in Nepal . My constituency ,   the English language teachers had a great respect and trust for me as I chaired the regional   branch of Nepal English Language Teachers ’ Association . This would not only benefit the   local English language teachers , it would also benefit the region due to arrival of   international guests . The challenge was to convince the seven different political parties that   governed the city at a time of political instability .        Selection   Story telling is a powerful tool to convey a message to various stakeholders , when you have   to accomplish something big . Since my challenge was to bring a different element to the   challenge , I had to convey the message that logically as well as emotionally so that the   stakeholders would feel the connection and could see the larger purpose . The “ cause ” of   uplifting the whole region educationally was of course powerful and would “ ignites   people . ” My challenge was to tell the story in a way that my audience would understand . So   I first discussed this among my core team and then we invited all stakeholders to tell the   big story . We put forward the situation and opportunity at hand . We asked questions , and   we gave moments of reflection .      Most of them were intrigued by the idea but they has many questions and suspicions . The   compelling nature of our story and the enthusiasm in my core team , eventually inspired the   community . We were able to officially declare the date from that very meeting . For many of   the young people it was a fresh breath of air . We explained why 80 % failure rate in English   language is challenging . Then we talked about the opportunity of hundreds of teachers   being benefited by the international conference and the long lasting impact in education ,   the idea created energy and passion that led us to think about strategy because we felt that   after some questions and answers the community was in the same page .       Application   Since the idea was that of advancement of whole society together , I tried to build a story   appropriate for different audiences : For local businesses , for local administration , and for   local political leaders . The story of a teacher ’s development and the impact of teachers ’   professional development in the society through hundreds of students helped me to   connect with the various stakeholders in a relatable way . Not only was I able to mobilize   hundreds of English language teachers toward organizing the event , multiple local   individuals and organizations stepped up , fundraised , and volunteered to make this event a   grand success . It was very effective . 

 Insight   I had a strong sense that the idea would be compelling to people once the story was told to   everybody . I used the data and hard facts showing dismal performance of teachers . The   challenge was sold . I then explained the opportunity in front of the community and told   them how they could help and showed what we could accomplish together . It worked . The   greatest insight was that when you are trying to accomplish something big , “ it takes a   village . ” I did know this but going through the experience gave me a new meaning of   storytelling .      Approach   If I were to do this again , I would do three things differently . First of all , everybody that   contributes needs recognition . I gave multiple responsibilities to many , many volunteers   and made sure that they were part of the story . Finally , however , I could have done a better   job if I took a time to profusely recognize people for their contributions . Second , I could   have delegated more and given multiple people a chance to appear in media and tell the   same story to larger public , which would help us to obtain public trust . Finally , I would   make sure that volunteers are well fed . Eventually , I wish I had known the idea of “ what is ,   what if , what wows , and what works ” before the endeavor . A great approach , which will   keep inspiring my future endeavors .
