Example Reflection- Storytelling

Challenge and Selection

Storytelling is a great tool , if my intention is conveyed properly then we can open up our user’s  mind and can gain a peer attention . I work with people of different age . We deal each person in a  different way . While we deal with senior people we need to be little bit patient and listen to them  carefully , listen their stories and we need to tell story w.r.t their one so that they can understand  more easily and with the youngsters we need to tell story which inspires them and put a amazing  fact of the product that we are working on , mostly youngsters gets attracted if they see a  specification which they never heard before. Coming  to the middle aged person , they will not know  how to use the product and this problem occurs even more often with the old age too . Middle age  persons generally go for the product only if they listen about the product from relatives or friends or  in their office . The main thing we should keep in mind is we need to guarantee them that our  product full fills their expectations . If we try to story tell to the audience of all age at same time then  we don’t have time to listen to each and every problem and we need to present our story in the  form of presentation  or a video keeping in the mind the general questions that they ask and the  language is also the main challenge when we address a group of all aged people all the people can’t  understand the language I am talking in so it is better if we know major basic languages.

Application

Once, I need to address a group of college students . The main thing we need to remember when we  address college students is we should include some humor too . It was a general counseling session  and I started my story that there  was a student called Prakash . He was a  bipc student and he didn’t  get that much score to get a mbbs or a dental seat as he didn’t prepare upto the mark and he opted  psychology so that he can get a doctor tag in front of his name but he was not having any idea of  psychology never before and slowly the semesters were going on and he understood that this field is  not for him and he went for film making course and completed it and bought a camera and went to  university for selecting a cast for his short film and while shooting that film he lost his camera and  not having enough money to buy a new one and dropped that filming making too . While this  process is going on I want to tell you something that he add a friend in his degree college and he is  from a village and at first he is unable to utter a single word in English but apart from English he  know three to four different language but he have trouble with his English speaking skills and this  Prakash being his friend trained him to speak English and irrespective of his study field he got a job in  a five star hotel seeing his speaking skills . So , when Prakash is struggling to find his field of interest  his friend came and told that storytelling and skill development can be his field of interest has he  trained his friend he can train people who are willing to develop their skill . Now , this man went to a  NSDC(national skill development corporation) which only relies on skill development and they had  few sessions of interview and took him and he is satisfied with his job . Ultimately the job  satisfaction should be there .

Insight and approach

Now I told that I keep on telling story but I forget to introduce myself and started my introduction  telling my name is Prakash and the man in the story is me . Then the students were surprised and I  gained their attention now they will listen to me and then I told technical stuff that how to improve  their speaking skills and I had a tip that we message each other in social media apps in short form  and try pronouncing the short forms in the way they type and in the process they can get some

different accent while they are talking and I gave a few examples how they can change their way of  speaking .

This course made me see this as a tool in a new way. Now I can prepare ahead and think of stories  that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them.
