Reflection – Visualization & Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection     Visualization and Storytelling is a tool that I used to use all the time in my head actually , instead of   implementing it in my surrounding world out there until I was able to recognize its true importance after   learning from the examples in this course .   I was doing an internship , and as an intern there , I have observed some of my colleagues I worked with   were vulnerable , besides they were so capable , skilled and talented but were unsuccessful in showing that   side of themselves to others , thus they were always excluded from taking into consideration due to   inequity . Many of these people deal with oppression , injustice , and insults , they actually need   empowerment and inspiration to move on and highlight themselves and benefit with what they can   contribute actually . I honestly believe spending time in “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire   them to improve their circumstances wherever they are . I share stories of my life and let them visualize it   in order to help them visualize a state of independence , I use their response to my story to ascertain their   goals , and sometimes to use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes . I use this   information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more freedom   in the areas they find themselves lacking in their lives . So I picked 2 fellow colleagues of mine ( obviously   picked or selected them in my mind without them knowing ) . 

 Application     I have a story about using storytelling and visualization in order to achieve success that is directly   proportional to the success of others .   I have begun with a small initiative or step . I let my   colleague / teammate visualize a state of independence after I told her my story , that to survive in the   inequity and environment where you feel excluded , you have to keep doing your best , so that your work   speaks for itself even if they do n’t take you into consideration let your work do the justice . 

 I was in the evaluation session with panel including the managing director , team leads and managers ,   where I gathered the courage to tell them the story and help them visualize with the help of visuals on the   white board where I explained the story by taking an example and that example is relating to the situation   I was thinking to solve . I tried explaining them the benefits to the organization after using the   “ EMPLOYEE - FOCUSED - APPROACH ” . Such approach in a workplace is one in which all individuals ,   programs , processes , and systems are focused on helping employees become fully successful .   Individuals who feel valued will provide excellent products and service , which will result in the   achievement of organizational goals at the end of the day . So it ’s a win - win situation , if you benefit an   employee , it will multiply the benefit actually . 

 I also explained how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the   better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . So best results only come when each and every   team member is progressing and growing , so I explained the importance of helping the one lacking   behind , and inspiring them to join us to the same progressed level . 

 Insight & Approach     That was my first courageous experience . I always believe in compassion and empathy , and that I used in   my approach too , I told my teammate that to make her mark in the company she needs to be confident in   herself , her skills and work . Help her understand that it ’s okay if she lacks in any skill , learning has no 

 age or defined period , and it ’s always the perfect time to learn when you realize you need to learn . When I   convinced her that it ’s okay to be neglected and excluded , your time will come , like I struggled to make   my mark here , so can she . 

 I asked my senior heads to weekly arrange beneficial e - learning sessions and trainings from the experts   within the company which are open to all and everyone ( from junior to senior level ) can join / attend and   are welcomed . Because everyone is more than welcome to learn what they do n’t know and want to learn   so that way she does n’t feel targeted or inferior and can easily attend the sessions .   This worked really well . She really needed compassion and listening ear for that brief time to share her   story , and she ended up with a true support . She was so motivated then to practice all she was learning   and I want them to pick her instead of me so that she can feel empowered . 

 The examples of the tools in this course made me see these story - telling and visualization tool in a new   way . I 've used it as an ad hoc tool , but now I ’m learning to prepare ahead in my career and assist me in   presenting my ideas and best illustrate them better . 

 I have a tech background , but I ended up as a managerial level compassionate work more than my field   related work . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is   actually !
