STORYTELLING

Sorry if I make mistakes, English is not my native language.    Challenge  As a team leader, I use storytelling to motivate members, many times we can  find difficulties when managing projects, problems with time, with the client,  etc. Telling a story of how a person would overcome the problem in their daily  life is very good. If someone can do it in their day to day, I can do it in a job for  which I am qualified. That's the idea I want to get in their head.    Selection  Storytelling is using the power of the word, with a simple story to be able to  convey big ideas, empathize with an audience and give a call to reflection.  We can find the video in week 2.    Application  I applied this technique in the final meeting of the company. I told a story of a  man (no name) who overcame the obstacles in his life by talking to his friends  and family. I showed that you are not special for currently having a problem,  someone has already gone through the same thing and was able to overcome  it.  Insight and Approach  The members of the company were excited to hear the story, the response I  got was very positive. Some congratulated me in private for having achieved a  beautiful moment in an environment that can sometimes be very boring or  strict.  I would use the same tool again, although next time I would like to involve  others more so that it feels more personal and they can also contribute their  stories.
