Reflection 

 Challenge and Selection : 

 In my job , working with a corporate consulting firm , my biggest daily challenge 

 lies in public speaking and doing presentations to our stakeholders , the media or 

 clients . Usually I ’ll be tasked with presenting an idea , strategy or information to a body 

 of individuals whom I ’ve never met and while I ’m usually versed and confident in the 

 information I have to deliver , the challenge lies in what approach I should use to appeal 

 and engage the group I ’m presenting to in a clear , concise manner . 

 Even before taking a course on Design Innovation , I ’ve always found Storytelling 

 to be an effective tool in addressing this challenge because it does n’t matter where 

 people come from and who they are , they all love and can relate to a good story . The 

 concept of storytelling , which is to deliver your message in a fun , engaging , sequenced 

 manner , allows you to be clear and comprehensive in your deliverance and makes it 

 easy for the audience to capture the essence of your presentation , that is , the important 

 part which you want everyone to take away . 

 Application : 

 In each of my presentations , I would incorporate storytelling differently , 

 depending on two factors ; who I ’m presenting to and what I ’m presenting on . I usually 

 ask myself what is the best way to use this tool in my presentation . In a recent 

 presentation , where I was tasked with presenting a new idea to the board , I used a 

 backstory to introduce a common issue in our market . This method worked because it 

 not only engaged each of the members but it also appealed to their emotions . They were 

 able to grasp the concept of the issue clearly and later in my presentation , after 

 introducing the idea which could potentially solve the issue , I was able to come back to 

 my story and apply this information , giving a clear demonstration of how the idea 

 presented can solve the issue . This led to this presentation being successful in delivering 

 the essence of my idea and creating a similar vision in each of their minds . 

 Insight and Approach : 

 Public speaking , especially presenting a relatively new idea to group of esteemed 

 individuals whom you are fairly acquainted with is a nerve - wracking task . How to 

 appeal to your audience and ensure everyone is engaged long enough to grasp a similar 

 idea of what you ’re trying to present is not the easiest thing to do . However , by using 

 storytelling I was able to demonstrate my idea step by step in a clear and 

 comprehensive manner . My audience was engaged and I felt confident in my 

 presentation because I was able to appeal to their senses and plant a similar vision in 

 their minds at the end of my presentation . That ’s the beauty of storytelling . 

 In an effort to be more effective when using this tool , I would suggest using 

 visual or audio or both materials / props . A simple brochure or visual map can also 

 contribute to enhance the results of using this tool . Another effective and fun way to use 

 this tool is to involve your members , speak directly to them , include them in your story 

 so they stay engaged and are able to receive the message . If the challenge involves 

 engaging a diverse group of individuals and controlling the narrative and how you 

 deliver it , then storytelling is a great tool to use .
