Example Reflection – Storytelling     Challenge & Selection     Storytelling is an excellent tool. I worked with marketing organization, which aims to sell its products in  Health Sector. I was leading a team of 20 people and we were given targets which we have to complete  by the end of the every month. Our Challenge was to complete this target but we were facing difficulties  in achieving that, and many of my team members were losing faith and were thinking of  leaving the  organization. Being leader of the group my task also includes to make them sure that they can achieve  the targets , to build confidence in them also to keep motivated . So here I used the storytelling tool ,  this tool not only helped me to keep my team members motivated but also helped in increasing sales  targets.               Application     With the help of storytelling things become really easy as it helps to make people connect logically and  emotionally. When I was giving training to my team mates ,it was difficult to make everyone understand  of each and every products of my organization ,and also teaching them about how to achieve sales. So I  thought of using this tool as it makes things connect logically and emotionally, Storytelling tool goes  with the flow connecting our ideas with some other kind of story that can make an effect on other  person in different way .    Insight & Approach     Storytelling tool is very effective tool which can make the things to connect. One day when I had  meeting with one of my colleague regarding the products discussion of my organization ,my colleague  was not confident of products ,and was thinking that other brands producing same type of products are  good ,though they were costly compared to products of my organization. So here we had long  discussion and suddenly storytelling tool clicked to my mind, and I thought of using it in this case as it  may help to reach to conclusion, so I connected my friend that how other brands products started  selling the products and how they created their brand value in markets , connecting with my  organization products I stated that our firm is startup which was recently started and is trying to create  brand value of itself among people so my firm is selling its products at rate cheaper than the other  brands and quality wise it is as good as of them and in coming years my organization is going to be  among top most brands. This lead to a conclusion and I was successful in making my colleague trust on  products. Storytelling tool helped me in reaching to conclusion.    Storytelling tool helped me a lot whenever I used it and now my team mates also started using this tool  The good thing of story is that it creates impact on people. This course made me see this as a tool in a  new way. Earlier I have used this tool in different way but now with the help of this course I can prepare  ahead and think of stories that will help me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them.    I am fortunate enough that I came to know about this course which really helped me in thinking  differently and added some great learning .
