Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling is something I have been trained in by numerous companies , both corporate and   more humanitarian focused . I have also had the privilege of spending time working in Human   Rights , which had a profound impact on me and the importance of remaining grounded and   making a difference to the world . The challenge was enabling a more business and commercial   focused team in a humanitarian organisation to connect with and remain grounded with aspects   of human vulnerability and suffering . Although the financial and business orientated aspects will   tend to be at a forefront , I believe it is important to remember the wider picture and ethos behind   what we do . By humanising the session , it will help create a level of empathy and in some cases   discomfort – which can be a positive – helping to bridge the gap between the emotional / human   sides and the financial / business side . This also provides information in terms of reactions ,   stories and questions that stakeholders may have – which helps to provide context into their   views and thoughts . It is also important to both share and listen to stories , making sure it is not a   one - sided affair to create a safe environment for all and foster a sense of collaboration . 

 Application : 

 I firstly explained why I believed storytelling was important for reasons similar to the above ,   alongside aiming to encourage participation and action . The company was very focused on   maximising money spent in terms of efficiency – which is critical considering the level of audit   and accuracy needed given elements of donation present . Whilst seeking to maximise the   amount of resource and output given per donation , and providing exemplary ability for donor to   track these payments , there also a need to highlight just how the impacts were and could be   unfolding . I aimed to create a very individual focused story , focused on real life examples that   showcased not just the successes of how money could utilised , but also the areas where more   could be done . I also attempted to highlight the fact the quantity spent does not necessarily   translate into the amount of positive impact achieved in a one - to - one ratio . I think it is also   important to not just recognise the needs of an individual , but also those of a group and their   different interests and biases . I chose a story featuring someone who has escaped from a   dictatorship government , and started a new life with the support of similar organisations to ours .   His speech focused not just on his personal history , trauma and the disparity between that and   his current life , but also on the wider context in relation to his country and the wider scenario   there . It helped extrapolate the issue from a personal , individual tale into a larger , scaled issue . 

 Insight and Approach : 

 I deemed the talk to be relatively success , in terms of the impact on the room and the abiity to   visualise an issue in order provide a tangible impact . Namely , the change or call to action for the   people in the room to be a driving force against impunity and human rights abuses worldwide .   This encouraged not just donation , but more importantly emotion and a amplification of issues in   peoples ’ consciousness . Sometimes issues are n’t necessarily strictly financial , so I feel this   technique is useful in that way in bridging the divide between commercial and human aspects of 

 life .   I felt this gave us buy in with both individuals in the room , but also the wider organisations   they represented . This made me firstly understand better the power of storytelling , for the   individual telling the story and the audience . It also had the effect of creating a strong emotion in 

 the room . 

 Importantly , the course aided me in seeing the tool in a more powerful and structured way . It is   possible to plan , with aims and objectives , what the impact you are seeking and plan things in a   more methodological way through the course . It helps provide a framework in understand how to   best employ tools for impact .
