Challenge & Selection

For more than 20 years working as a professional in the human resources area, so very recently I have realized that  Storytelling is a highly valued skill, forgotten since ancient scholars such as Aristotle and Socrates to name a few,  and how they dictated in their ceremonies and had that ability to move people only with their speech and their  history.

We have forgotten that these ancients did not have a PowerPoint presentation or whiteboard to support their  lectures and to show us their ideas and messages.

I participate in many conferences and job interviews. And many people who apply to many job positions and most  people miss many opportunities to make a real impact on their audience, this ancient technique has awakened in  me the desire to be able to tell stories that really motivate people and they can understand better. way the  information is conveyed to the audience.

Application  In all this time, I have observed that some executives of the firm where I work use their standard presentations  frequently, meetings and lectures to convey their ideas. This has led me to the plane of further investigating a  methodology to break down and improve the way information is presented. With this idea we create work teams  that we call training monitors  The bottom line?

If we want our audience to do something, make them feel something.   So our job as a storyteller is to provoke an  emotional reaction to break down people's defenses and leave them more open to influence. The best way to do  that is to exhibit some emotion of every executive.

Insight & Approach  And for this we have developed a brainstorming in which we defragment our objectives into 5 essential steps of  what we really want to achieve in each job dissertation and transform them into an amazing Storytelling  1. Identify and Understand Your Audience: Knowing our audience is the first rule of show business, and it's the  biggest issue in putting together a story that truly connects with people.  Also defining some scope of our future  audience: Who are they? what do they want? what do we have in common? what are their doubts. Fears, and  misperceptions? And what do they know?

2. Determine our Goal: The goal in our story might be immediate and concrete; we want our audience to buy or  change their behavior or get on board with their support.

3. Discover the Challenge (s): Through that process, we uncovered a host of challenges boredom, technology, supply  issues, shift changes, etc.  We also discovered a number of resolutions how they solved those problems which again  shows that this is not necessarily a linear process.

4. Find the Right Character: Our character is the heart of the story

5. Bring it to Resolution: So make sure our story resolves in some way the most straightforward approach is where  the character achieves the goal.

After applying these factors, and the reformulation of the speakers in each dissertation, many executives began to  link their stories with an emotional component, this generated a greater fluid and participatory relationship with  their audience, allowing a Design Thinking in the course of the time of each dissertation generating a greater  brainstorm in each case and fulfilling each proposed objective, leaving the team of 5 executives trained for future  dissertations and interactions with their audience and trained their respective teams.
