Example Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection    Storytelling has been quite instrumental with the kind of challenges that I face at my workplace . I have   been working in government department of education and my job is to act as a liaison between the   government education ministry and various school boards . The difficult part of my job is that both   government and school boards have same objective to add more value to students learning experience ,   but their approaches are quite different . While government has an attitude to impose regulations , school   boards have tendency to question every change that government try to bring - in . Storytelling comes to   rescue in this conflict situation because the differences lies only in the process but the objectives of   both the parties are same which is to add more value to students . We choose the common thread   between them students and try to build stories around them so as to help them visualize the impact of   their decisions . The idea was that once they are able to visualize the change that has been proposed , the   change implementation process would be smooth .      Application    The story of dealing with the situations goes like this . In one particular incidence , few years ago , the   government had decreed that a change was to occur and that all school boards within the jurisdiction   needed to conform within a certain timeframe . As more boards became aware of the change and the   impact it would have on their organizations , many naturally questioned why the change was needed .   The project team that I am part of needed an effective way to present the long - term value of the change   without boring people with facts or figures , or getting into long winded explanations . So we focused on   the one common value driver that all the school boards had in common : the student .   We used a short two - minute before - and - after video depicting a day in the life of a new student and how   the change would positively impact their educational experience . Even seasoned educators had their   heartstrings pulled seeing the video ; they could immediately empathize with the student and recognize   how the situation described was all too common in today ’s world . We used this story to introduce   nearly every presentation and dialogue we had with our stakeholders for several years , as it helped   establish the reason for why the change was necessary and put everyone ’s mindset into focusing on the   common goal all stakeholders had – providing the best possible education to the student .       Insight & Approach    Stories can captivate an audience , give them the critical information they need to understand a complex   problem in a concise package , and be used to get people with very different backgrounds and goals to   relate to shared events and situations . Leveraging stories has helped student ’s learn from new or   challenging experiences . Story telling is a timeless teaching tool .    In my experience at work , I found that Stories can be a powerful and effective tool at conveying   information to audiences , and when done well can be used to give people with entrenched viewpoints a   chance to look at another perspective without being bombarded with facts or differing opinions .    I shared this example with the senior authorities in the government and they found it very useful in the   areas of conflict resolution and educating people on change . Their view was that government ’s first   problem to implement change is to resolve the conflict and educate the people on the impact that   government decision especially in education will have to the people , and such problems can be   addressed to some extent by using the storytelling as a tool going forward . I have been appointed as a   coach for twenty - district government officers responsible for government schools in their district to   adapt the new approach through story telling to education on the change .
