STORYTELLING 

 CHALLENGE & SELECTION 

 Behind every great achievement there is a great story , the story could be of education , 

 training , practice , discipline or even sacrifice . I personally feel storytelling is a great tool of 

 design thinking because a story can be told from heart and it is the reflection of our true 

 actions in past which when expressed can help attain deeper insights of our work , providing 

 a great scope for improvement . Sitting in a group , sharing and discussing each other stories 

 lead us to lot of different thoughts and innovative ideas . Asking questions , listening to 

 various stories , sharing experiences and explaining values not only engages people in 

 thinking deep but also establishes a sense of empathy in the peer group which is a basic 

 step in order to make the design success . After the experiences are shared solutions can be 

 decided through vivid verbal or visual accounts . 

 APPLICATION 

 Storytelling has no borders . Every person regardless of age , gender , race , involves and 

 engages in it .   Usually in a group discussion we all sit together and share our experiences . 

 Stories are captivating and we learn from them . They ensure full attention is paid and a tight 

 hold is maintained until the end . 

 There are different forms of storytelling for example digital , visual , skits or plays , images , 

 animations , videos , text , etc . These forms open up opportunities for many approaches 

 including content , thematic , structural , etc .   As a student I have applied design thinking to 

 understand the elements of success during my phase of choosing the right stream after 

 intermediate . And storytelling is what I chose to do out of all odds and it helped me gain 

 knowledge about the phase . 

 INSIGHT AND APPROACH 

 What I can infer from storytelling is that it ’s a great tool to think innovatively and creatively . 

 Being creative is thinking of something that no one has ever thought of . So , storytelling 

 teaches us to think out of box by learning from different stories ( experiences of your peer 

 group ) . There are several other outcomes of this . For example storytelling increases self- 

 confidence , on regular practice one can overcome fear of expression and be a good 

 speaker . It answered lot of my questions like , “ is studying abroad a good decision ? ” , “ Is 

 Computer Science Engineering my thing to do ? ” and many more . Listening in empathy is 

 something I strongly believe in and realised that its one approach to success .
