Reflection- Storytelling 

 Challenge and Selection 

 Storytelling , visualization , and mind mapping were some of the tools I   equipped myself with after the completion of this course in Coursera . I am a   junior researcher in my Laboratory . Diabetic assay is one of the important   research works undertaken in our lab and I am a part of a group of researchers   that head this research . The work that we are pursuing has a great novelty and   a big purpose provided that our research is successful . This course , especially   the storytelling tool helped me put things in perspective and explain to my   fellow researchers and my head about the direction our project could take to   fulfil that cause , and storytelling was a great tool to explain and hopefully   convince them to pursue it . 

 Application 

 ‘ Design thinking ’ course provided me with a framework to structure my story .   My fellow researchers were finding our challenge too big to overcome but I   figured out that if I can tell a story that will aid them in converting our   challenge to a cause , I was sure I can get them on board . I wanted them to feel   involved and present them with all the possibilities that our research work had .   In my next research meeting , I gave a presentation where I told a story . India is   a country with a population of over 1 billion of which 88 million people are   below the poverty line . They are always neglected when it comes to   healthcare , especially diabetes 2 . It is a sad situation and our research has the   potential to figure out a diabetic assessment kit that way cheaper than the   ones available in our market currently and could be easily accessible to all the   villages in the country . I told them the story of ‘ Raji ’ . A single mom in a village   called Pollachi , south of India . She had diabetes 2 , but being a daily wage   worker who had to provide for her children , she decided not to get her   treatment . I told them of her struggles daily and clearly explained to them the   challenges she has to face regularly . This was a story that had a lot of emotions   but it also had logic attached to it .   She was just an example in a country of   over 100 million whose healthcare is neglected . This story had a larger   purpose . So , I felt it was the right story to tell my group to convince them to   take a different approach in our project to serve Raji and millions more like   her . 

 Insight and Approach 

 My whole team was moved by this story . My fellow researchers came from   different parts of India , mostly rural areas where healthcare was costly , so they   could all relate to the story and felt that they have the resources to find a   solution if a proper work plan is charted . Our senior research scholar was   convinced with our new approach and now our team is working on a new   cheap ‘ saliva - based diabetic test kit ’ which if successful could save many   people . And I truly believe that if not for my story , it would have been   impossible to convince my team . In a research - based environment , our   meetings were always data - driven but for a change , bringing the human aspect   of our research into the meetings brought a big change and I am sure that I will   continue to present my research talks with a human approach and continue to   remind my colleagues of the great work we are doing and I ’m thankful to my   friend for suggesting me to take up this course .
