Reflection - Storytelling 

 Challenge      Storytelling is the process of using fact and narrative to communicate something to your    audience . Some stories are factual , and some are embellished or improvised in order to better    explain the core message . 

 Storytelling is an art form as old as time and has a place in every culture and society . Why ?    Because stories are a universal language that everyone — regardless of dialect , hometown , or    heritage — can understand . Stories stimulate imagination and passion and create a sense of    community among listeners and tellers alike . 

 Telling a story is like painting a picture with words . While everyone can tell a story , certain people    fine - tune their storytelling skills and become a storyteller on behalf of their organization , brand , or    business . You might ’ve heard of these folks — we typically refer to them as marketers , content    writers , or PR professionals . 

 I love to listen to stories . I get to learn a lot of things from them . Better storytelling can help in    better communicating with a person which would eventually help to understand someone in a    much more efficient way . 

 Selection 

 Every member of an organization can tell a story . But before we get into the how , let ’s talk about    why we tell stories — as a society , culture , and economy . There are a variety of reasons to tell    stories — to sell , entertain , educate or brag . 

 Stories help solidify abstract concepts and simplify complex messages . Taking a lofty ,    non - tangible concept and relating it using concrete ideas is one of the biggest strengths of    storytelling in business . 

 Take Apple , for example . Computers and smartphones are a pretty complicated topic to describe    to your typical consumer . Using real - life stories , they ’ve been able to describe exactly how their    products benefit users … instead of relying on technical jargon that very few customers would    understand . 

 Stories make us human , and the same goes for brands . When brands get transparent and    authentic , it brings them down - to - earth and helps consumers connect with them and the people    behind them . 

 Application 

 I use the storytelling tool much often . I love UI / UX design . So whenever there a problem comes up    it ’s very crucial to do the background research , take interviews of users , explain your insights to    stakeholders . So I use stories to make an impact , and help them understand things better . It also    helped me to create empathy and understand users ’ emotions and frustrations so that I can    design a better product for them . 

 I also link filmmaking . Particularly I am interested in cinematography and scriptwriting . So as we    know and the great movie starts with a great script . So when a movie project is started , I start    brainstorming and as soon I come up with some good idea , it ’s my job to explain my thoughts to    my team very clearly keeping in mind the budget constraints .

 Insight & Approach 

 It is really a great tool . It helped me explain myself and my thoughts to others in a much more    effective way . I got to learn that good stories are- 

 ● Entertaining : Good stories keep the reader engaged and interested in what ’s coming next . 

 ● Educational : Good stories spark curiosity and add to the reader ’s knowledge bank . 

 ● Universal : Good stories are relatable to all readers and tap into emotions and experiences    that most people undergo . 

 ● Organized : Good stories follow a succinct organization that helps convey the core message    and helps readers absorb it . 

 ● Memorable : Whether through inspiration , scandal , or humour , good stories stick in the    reader ’s mind . 

 Also , I learned that , for a better storytelling approach , carry out the following processes- 

 1 . Know your audience 

 2 . Define your core message 

 3 . Decide what kind of story you ’re telling 

 4 . Establish your call - to - action 

 5 . Choose your story medium
