Example Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling is the fundamental part of every successful business . Since I work for non - profit   organization and I understand the most important task for people working in this kind of organization   is to communicate with communities , listen what their problems is and let them understand our   organization ’s objectives . Storytelling is the main strategy in every communication where the society   needs realistic example instead of unrealistic scenarios . We are living in the world with full of   exaggeration until we ca n’t know what the truth is . Likewise , many people deal with oppression and   dysfunction in every aspect of their lives , they need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to   empowerment . My main responsibility is to perform operational tasks but of course there are clients   regardless of external or internal , who needed advice or guidance from me . I use storytelling strategy   to communicate with them and wait until they open up the cause of their struggle so that I can give   subjective feedback and advice . The key to storytelling is to tell the truth and show the path to success .   What we overcome is what we have been tested . Often people in my environment believe that I am   one of the examples to show women in low level society to show how a woman with no background   can stand alone and fight the world . I share stories of my life , the struggles I face in order to help them   visualize a state of independence , I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain   their goals , and sometimes we share stories together . Upon their background , I set the examples in   line with the level of the person ’s mindset so that they show their interests and participate more . I   develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more independence in   the areas they find lacking in their lives . 

 Application 

 I have an example of storytelling approach I used . During staff retreat , staff were assigned to present   their perspectives and their suggestion to the organization . I was the Admin and Finance supervisor in   the field , and I learned that some staff in the field have negative understanding to the Head of the   Field Office and they want to use this as an advantage during their turn of presentation . I am also the   assigned HR focal in the field and luckily , I had enough time to find out the good and the bad already   in the office . I accept this is my duty as an HR focal to let them understand what should be and what   should n’t be in the field office therefore , I tried to understand the situation and make a note that I   was n’t dealing with a single person who has difficulties in understanding organization objectives but   the opposite , I was dealing with a couple of people who wants to manipulate the office for their   benefits . What I did is I ask for my turn to speak up my presentation combined with my story . The story   is about my experience where I was a bad colleague who is stubborn , ignorant and narrow minded and   when I made mistake and struggled to pass , the team helped me out of the problem and show me the   way . The story was a bit long , but I gained the audience attention of how I become so optimistic and   diligent staff member in this job . I concluded the key to my story is the leadership and the importance   of the role of team members . I was trying to explain the audience that the team spirit is important and   without the support of the team , I wo n’t be here in this place . They are the people who offered their   help and showed me the way to overcome the problems with mentally , physically or financially   whenever in need . The audience listened and showed their appreciation in my presentation . I noticed   those people who have problems bowed their head while listening to my presentation and finally it   turned out that they realized their lack of team spirit is the main in this situation . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I think that was the eye - opener for them . They showed full participation later in every retreat activity   and even communicate happily with the Head of Field Office . I had a conversation with them and   listened what their insights . They were fully cooperative and showed improvement throughout the   whole conversation . I told them I was like them who disgrace to the whole team , but I changed myself   my career . I explained their performance matters and to consider about the career development and   the good career record . This worked really well . They behaved good and ended up as a flexible team   player later on . The story touched their heart and they avoid any bad impact for the team . 

 The senior management listened feedback from me about their improvement and accepted this as a   lesion learn for them without any action for them .   Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . 

 This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . As a result , I can now prepare ahead and think   of relevant stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate the targeted audience .
