How Storytelling Saved Me 

 Challenge 

 I have always doubt about myself as someone who could speak well on public , but 

 some months ago I had to face a challenge that was presenting in a startup competition 

 in front of important international businesspeople . The competition consisted in 

 building a startup from scratch in groups of 6 people , and as soon as we started , we 

 had a coach that helped us through all the process of building the startup . We decided 

 to create a task management app called Uber that uses AI to predict user´s behavior 

 and provide them accurate suggestions to manage their time in a better way . 

 Selection 

 When we gathered as a group , we needed to decide the two people that were about to 

 present the project in the competition , and that is when I took courage and accept the 

 challenge to be one of the presenters . I knew that speaking wasn´t my strongest point , 

 but I knew it was a one life chance and that I needed to engage the jury . That is when 

 the advisor that helped us during the project told us about storytelling , a powerful and 

 innovative tool to engage the audience and I knew , that this was the tool I was about to 

 use to get the jury on my pocket . 

 Application 

 Now , as I already knew that this was the ace up my sleeve , I ask our coach to help us 

 find talks of people that are good in storytelling , and that is when we met a man from 

 Barry Katz Ltd. a company specialized in communication and influencing people . This 

 man gave us some keys of how to make a great story while presenting in an innovative 

 way and I took them . Some hours later of this talk I started to diagram my story that 

 consisted of a really bad day I had because of procrastinating tasks to be done later . 

 The day of the presentation arrived ; I told the story with this incredible tool to engage 

 the judges . 

 Insights 

 The results ? I was amazed … I never felt more confident of myself and as good 

 communicating as that way when I innovated using storytelling on the pitch deck I 

 prepared . When I finished presenting with my partner the jury gave us their thoughts 

 on our presentation and our product , their response left me freezed … One of the most 

 important businessmen of Argentina told me that he was touched by my story as that 

 always happened to him . What I learn by using this innovative tool , is that by using it I 

 gets to people´s emotions and engage them in the best way possible as I could 

 empathize with them . 

 Approach 

 Throughout all the process and thanks to the incredible coach we have before the 

 competition , my team and I were able to use this powerful design - thinking tool that 

 made us highlight in the competition . We were not the winners , but we amazed lot of 

 people that were doubting of us , including my parents that were really emotional when 

 I finished the presentation and went to see them . Something that we could maybe 

 improve is to also use another design - thinking tool on our visual presentation , as I think 

 we lacked of images to let the judges understand on a better way our thinking of our 

 innovative idea with this task management app . But overall , I am very happy I could 

 present and got to know this powerful tool and know that I had made this course I have 

 my mind open to even more powerful tools that maybe in the future will make me be 

 more and more engaging and innovative in the way I speak and present my innovative 

 game - changer ideas .
