Storytelling

Challenge & Selection

The  Storytelling tool is one of the best when it comes to applying it, so the use very  often since it has allowed me on many occasions to create an emotional bond  between the people with whom I get to work, communicate a message in order to  achieve a purpose all this through which we share similar experiences or are  reflected by the stories I share,  likewise, people feel heard.

Actually, I use it for all types of people, but I often apply it when there are conflicts  within an organization since in this way I manage to generate trust through telling  them certain personal stories depending on the case and so the other person can  have the confidence to tell me the situation they are going through and thus identify  in the best way the problems they affect and find the best solutions.

Working with different types of women has also allowed me to identify the situations  they have gone through which have led them here, dealing with many problems,  feeling that they have fewer opportunities for success not only in their personal lives  but also in their work lives, together I seek to work with them to empower us, support  us in the aspects that we consider that have marked us in our lives,  progress and  seek to achieve our goals.

So, we apply certain strategies where we combine our stories and experiences with  achieving that empowerment and improving our quality of life.

Application

Within a working group of a product company made up only of women began to  discuss the situation they faced when doing their work since it was not being  anything effective, even within their work environment conflicts were emerging,  however it was because of the different individualisms that existed between them,

where it did not allow them to really work as a team and to provide fruits of their work,  so I suggested certain changes to the managers to be able to identify why that sales  sector was having low productivity and other opportunities that did not benefit them,  bringing with it lost in the sale of those products.

It was so that then I gathered them and applied different strategies where I  consented to them a little by providing them with some snacks and that they were  They felt comfortable and in a quiet environment and I began to tell my experience  and my reasons why among women we should support each other to progress and  develop our skills, but I also gave my opinion about what I perceived in their work  environment and therefore I began to ask how they really felt working that way to  what most were open to tell their experience and also to say that it was so they were  living in their personal lives that could affect this situation.

Insight & Approach

I was really surprised and moved how many of them felt relieved, heard, understood  which allowed them to create stronger bonds between that work team.

In particular I reinforced this session with a story, and a phrase that says, "The side  is not competition is companion, and behind every successful woman is an Army of  friends encouraging her to move forward and providing support at all times."

They really needed to feel heard and above all feel in an environment where the  emotional bonds were real and that gave them confidence, so in the following  months they improved their productivity  and  sales, bringing with them a great  satisfaction for that sector of the company they improved not only in the labor aspect  but also in the staff,  greater sales channels emerged and it was possible to change  certain activities where this environment and links were reinforced weekly:

At the same time, they also applied this tool to ensure that their customers also felt  heard.
