Reflection - Visualization 

 Challenge 

 I 'm a lawyer in a bank . My expertise is corporate and bankruptcy law . In one of the   cases I dealt with , a customer of the bank was given a loan while his house was   supposed to be the guarantee for the debt . The customer told the banker that the   house is a big private house in one of the richest cities in the country , and so it is worth   a lot more than the loan that he was asking for . In the worst case , if he wo n't be able   to pay the loan , the house can be sold and his debt will be paid . 

 After the loan was not paid on time , we demanded the customer to follow his   commitment and sell his house in order to pay his debt . Only then we found out that   the house was not his house at all . Unfortunately , although there is a special   procedure in the bank , describing all the things the bankers must check in order to   relay on the customers assets as a guarantee , the banker , in this case , did not follow   the procedure as he should have been . 

 In order to prevent this event from happening again , my challenge was to guide the   bankers to work according to the bank special procedure , regarding customers assets   as a guarantee , in a series of lectures that were organized by their supervisors . 

 Selection 

 The tool I selected to use was the Visualization Tool ( Module 1 - video number 5 ) . By   using this tool , you use visuals like photographs , videos , diagrams , colors , symbols ,   images , logos etc . instead of using words . By doing so it is more likely that your   audience will understand your message better and remember it . 

 I selected this tool to my challenge since the procedure I had to talk about in my   lectures was long ( over 30 pages ) and complex procedure . Moreover , it was important   to me that the bankers remember as much as possible from the lectures and I figured   that by using visuals ( photographs and symbols ) the important details in my lectures   will be more rememberable . 

 Application & Insight 

 I applied the Visualization Tool in my lectures by creating a slide show including a lot   of symbols in it . I divided the procedure into separated steps and decided to give each   of them an individual symbol to represent them ( For example , to describe the step in   which the banker should check the value of the asset I used a scale symbol ) . In each   slide there were the symbol and a short explanation of the procedure step described   by the symbol . At the end of the slide show there was a diagram which only contained   the symbols with arrows in between them showing the direction from one step to the   other . 

 My insight from applying the Visualization Tool to my challenge was how effectively   visuals deliver the message and making it easier to remember , especially when the   topic is long and complex ( like 30 pages bank procedure ) . Apparently , the symbols I 

 used were so rememberable that I did n't even had to explain them when I presented   the final diagram . The bankers , already know what they mean and remembered which   of the symbols , representing the next step in the procedure , comes next . 

 These days , with so much information and so many distractions around us , it is   important to be able to deliver a short and rememberable message effectively . As I   discovered , by using the Visualization Tool , using visuals can help you do that   effectively . 

 Approach 

 Although the Visualization Tool proved itself and helped the bankers remember all the   procedure steps , it was important to me that they will also understand the importance   of this procedure so their work will not only be technical work . Therefore , in my next   lectures I decided to also use the Storytelling Tool . I began the lectures by telling the   bankers the story about the customer house ( that turned out that was n't his house ) ,   so they can understand the importance of the procedure and only after they did , I   began my slide show with all the visual steps ( the symbols ) of the procedure , making   them easier to remember it .
