Select one of the four design thinking tools presented in the course (listed below) that you  are interested in applying to a challenge of your choice.

My design thinking too: Storytelling

1. I challenged myself to give a very effective presentation on one of my courses that is idea

development. I wanted the audience to listen and absorb all what I am to covey. The

presentation lasted about only 2.5 minutes and that was a very enormous task itself. My

instructor chooses and expresses her appreciation very wisely so I had to keep that in mind

as well.

2. I have been giving presentations for a very long time now, the school presentations, the

university ones and the thing here is that not only was I just giving the presentations I have of

course also received many over these years. I always wondered why people fall asleep during

presentations or why aren’t they interested in listening what the other person is saying. And

now I have finally realized what was missing and that is the art of storytelling. So then I

challenged myself to pitch my presentation in a brief time but applying the art of storytelling to

it. And not to mention that it turned out pretty well.

3. Now I have finally realized what was missing and that is the art of storytelling. So then I

challenged myself to pitch my presentation in a brief time but applying the art of storytelling to

it. And not to mention that it turned out pretty well. I was able to pitch my presentation

effectively and even 2.5 minutes seemed like more than ample time.

4. I followed a proper method, where I empathized with the audiences, I defined their needs,

ideated my way of thinking towards it, tested a test presentation on one of my sibling and

many friends and then finally when I thought that it was perfect I gave it to my instructor. I

don’t know yet if it turned pretty well in her view but for me it was the best one I have given

so far.

5. So for the next time I am definitely not forgetting the art of storytelling, moreover, I would like

to speak a little slower. Because the audience might have missed a word or two I said so

next time I don’t want to even leave that margin.
