 Storytelling design thinking strategy for gifted challenge 

 Challenge & Selection 

 My name is Rosli and I am the Leader of youth in an evangelic church . As leader , I have always 

 occasion to advice and help persons as counselor at church . Consequently , I am solicited by lot of 

 believers each week needing to be listened and empowered .   Currently , my challenge is to help 

 two gifted having some difficulties often to get friends and feel integrated in this world . Indeed , 

 gifted are very specials individuals having hyper empathy , great cleverness and passion to do 

 everything perfect in the church and daily life . I my case , they are very interesting persons able to 

 enrich my own skills and learn from others to feel normal . 

 Consequently , I have to listen all these persons and my best tool is the storytelling . What is it ? 

 According to Jeanne Liedtka and Tim Ogilvie “ Storytelling is the difference between solving a 

 problem and creating a cause . It allows to get people to pay attention for just a little bit longer , 

 with a little bit more diligence and energy to raise the level of engagement ! ” In our context the 

 storytelling is the appropriate tool to help others finding themselves the way to well organize their 

 ideas and innovate . It mean that I used to show them the way to be more creative and design their 

 own strategy to feel well integrated in daily life . 

 How did I apply this tool of design thinking to help these gifted designing their thinking and 

 innovate ? 

 Application 

 As I said my application of design thinking concerns various persons . But , I prefer share the case 

 of two gifted in my current work . It is not a scientific analysis , but it can help you to understand 

 more these persons . 

 Firstly , I met a student who likes long life learning and did not have friends because he is an 

 introvert person . Generally , this kind of persons has problems to communicate theirs feelings 

 easily with others . In spite of he was a very clever and active person at church , his great cleverness 

 and geek lifestyle were an obstacle to socialize often . He is full of knowledge ’s and felt very alone 

 to have nobody to share with . Yet , he told me later that he felt in confident when we discussed 

 together . How ? Personally , I started by a time of listening during our conversation to get his 

 attention . After the step of listening , I always found a story to tell about the richest of his 

 personality and close by saying “ you are not alone , but a wonderful person like Daniel or Joseph 

 in the bible ” . The storytelling is a metaphoric way to help him finding his personal identity 

 wellbeing . 

 Secondly , I am the mentor of another student in Business sciences . This one is extravert and had 

 difficulties to accept the failures in his own life . I remember that he is always busy and study hard 

 to never fail . But , he felt alone to never find someone else to share all is new discoveries also . 

 Currently , I am his councilor because I learnt how to help gifted after my previous experience . I 

 can assure that the storytelling applied in this case produced good results with this business 

 sciences student having lot of friends and does not feel again alone . 

 In brief , all these experiences attest that story telling is a good support to help people to find 

 personal strategy of wellbeing by design thinking way to innovate .   In spite of design thinking can 

 be apply in business , the story telling is a useful tool to change mindset and empower gifted in 

 their permanent seeking of social integration . 

 Insight & Approach 

 Personally , in the past years , I never knew that my practice at church was based in a very useful 

 tool of design thinking . Consequently , this course improves my own understanding of the 

 strategies to innovate and change individual ’s behaviors positively . 

 During my practice with the gifted , I understood that success does not depend on IQ only . They 

 are not as strong as we imagine , because they need affection and friends to recognize the 

 usefulness of their great abilities . So the story telling allows them to identify heroes sharing their 

 experiences and less suffer before the imperfect situation of daily life . 

 By applying storytelling , we can motivate , solve conflict , increase creativity , grow productivity 

 and promote social integration of everyone . As Advisor at church , this experience testifies that 

 everyone needs to have friends and psychological support . In business , social changing process 

 and innovation , the story telling shows that it is possible to orient the energy of our mind positively 

 whatever our social condition to impact positively human being on this earth . Indeed , the wish of 

 God is to see all of us in happiness . 

 Another alternative approach to apply design thinking with gifted can be “ learning launch ” as in 

 my case because I take course with them to reduce their feeling of loneness . But , I believe that the 

 different tools underlined in this course can be tested with gifted regarding their profile although 

 you will need to get their confident before in order to have great impact in your challenge to help 

 them . 

 Thanks for this course and I hope that my sharing can help you to see the gifted differently and 

 manage their great potentials easily in your business and life because they are source of high 

 innovation .
