Storytelling

Challenge & Selection

Storytelling is a very useful tool to motivate people to keep going and not give up.  Now a days, all the people around the world have several problems for the pandemic  and they see their dreams as impossible but knowing stories from others can help  them not give up.

I used to sell desserts especially bread but when the pandemic started, I stopped  doing it because I didn't know how to do it from home. So, I was looking for new  ideas on the internet and I found that a lot of people decided to start their own  business from home and all those stories of how they overcame obstacles helped  me to sell my desserts online. Now I am that person who tells stories to other people,  so they don't give up.

Application

My online dessert business was a success and many people asked me how I did it  in a pandemic. So, I realized that a lot of people have questions about it and also,  they were very afraid that it would not work. So, I decides to open a new Instagram  account where I post a lot of useful information of how a lot of people saw an  opportunity in these difficult days. I contacted all the people I met who created their  online business and I asked them to tell me their story.

When I have their stories, I asked them for permission to post them on my Instagram  account to help more people. Also, I give advice and tips so that they can get out of  their comfort zone and a lot of people follow my advice and when they decided to  start a new online business, they send me their stories so I can continue posting it.

Insight & Approach

At the beginning I wasn't sure if my idea would work for me or others. But it is proven  that listening to other people's testimonies helps many more to take the initiative, so  I think that I really did a good job.

I am sure that I will continue with this tool because it is giving me a really good results  and not only me but many people too.

Perhaps, in the future I will implement the visualization tool to be able to give another  focus to my work.
