Story Telling Reflection

Challenge and Selection

Story telling is an effective tool when it comes to conveying any message no matter how simple  or complicated it is. However, I must always keep in mind that logic has to be present so that I  can easily convey the message to my audience that come from different backgrounds in the  workplace. Many of these people come from different countries, religions and beliefs, age groups  and ethnical backgrounds. Thus, it is my job to choose the most suitable story that creates a  cause for something. This will ignite all the people in my workplace and unite them to be  inspired and empowered to do better at work and achieve the work goals at the end of the day.  As an individual I always keep an eye on the individual I will work with so that I can find that  spark in them that will motivate them and accordingly share motivational stories that were life  changing. This helps me understand the thought process and mechanism that person in front of  me follows and thus, will be able to choose the best strategy for them to be a better shaped  individual.

Application

For the story telling tool I have used it once with a colleague that lost motivation in an Oil and  Gas based company. First of all, I listened to her and tried to find that one place I can approach  her to make her feel that she is a unique, smart and independent person that can see the sky as the  limit. After listening to her I noticed that her main issue was that she did not feel rewarded at  work and no matter what she did she would always be disregarded and she felt disconnected  from her team. I called her later and decided to have lunch with her to see where I can jump in  and help her reconnect with her inner self to motivate her to do better, and feel that she is a really  valuable person in the company that adds value in many ways.

Insight and Approach

I told her a story about Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani school girl that was shot by Taliban  because she faced Taliban head on the fight for the right of girls in Pakistan to get access to  education. Even after she got shot and recovered from this trauma she returned even stronger and  fought for human rights and dedicated herself to advocating others.

The lesson learned from this story is that no matter how many times you fall, be disregarded or  left behind always use this tragic or unfortunate event as a driving catalyst for you to be a better  individual. This will bring you to one point at the end of the day that will make you realize that  you can do powerful things that you never thought you were capable of to start a new chapter in  your life that is regarded as the spark of change.

After listening to the story she was silent for a moment and decided that no matter how many  times she falls she will always get up and try again and again until she becomes the best version  of herself. She went back to the company and rejoined her team feeling that she is a valuable  addition to their team that adds value instead of being felt left out.

At the end of this course I have come to see this tool as an effective way to motivate individuals  surrounding me to do better and to always have life changing stories to tell when needed to  create moments of reflection and inspiration.
