Challenge was regarding a change in mid-career which I need further clarity on my direction through  identifying gaps and feasible career options.

I chose storytelling which is one of the design thinking tools. This enables me to convey a message  of my aspirations which helps me to organize and verbalize thoughts, where I could curate events,  draw out challenges and discovering a cause in my career.

Applied the tool by rehearsing my personal story through mock interviews with friends and career  coach. They provided feedback on skill, writing and job trends which helped me to develop a shared  understanding on current talent challenges in general.

The insight I gained has helped in identifying the problem, organizing my thoughts and creating  awareness on patterns identifying areas of improvement and resources for further growth, which  resulted in:

-networking with SME’s

-networking with career coach

- identify and aligning with GROWTH Mindset

- Personal Development (COURSERA / LINKEDIN)

I would apply the same tool due to the aspect that it draws the connection through your message  identifying with similar issues and engaging relevant stakeholders creating a shared understanding to  work collaboratively in solving problems.
