Reflection – Storytelling

Challenge & Selection Storytelling

It is a great tool that I use all the time. I have never worked in an organization,but I talk to a lot of  people.It is often when people ask for help in some guidance or counselling that I often use  storytelling to relate better. People need to be empowered and inspired to a path to empowerment.  I spend a lot of time opening people up and finding ways to inspire them to improve their  circumstances.People are so happy to share stories of their lives with me to connect and they find  meaning in sharing these experiences as a form of teaching and legacy to draw value, in a sense.Real  life story are compelling and easy to relate to. I share stories of my life in order to help them  visualize a state of independence, I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain  their goals, and use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes. I use this  information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more  independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives.

Application

When a person asks about what course shall he pursue,storytelling help in a better way.After telling  all viable options,the thing that remains is telling real life experiences in stories so as to make the  person understand and get a better perspective of how things unfolded in real life after choosing the  following path.,each person as a unique being, and addressing their individual needs first and  foremost.In this way I had often seen that the person asking for help relates properly and then takes  a decision.What storytelling really does is,it help the person listening the story to put himself/herself  in the shoes of the character and feel it for a while,which ultimately creates an impact in his/her real  life.I made a major counselling mistake while I was about to start my college,the same story I told to  another person who was about to begin his college when he asked for help regarding it.

Insight & Approach

The result of this was an eye opener,the person asking for help related to my story of a wrong  counselling.He asked me about how it felt to be on the other side of road after having been made  that mistake. He later told me that it was good to know a precedence of something he was just  about to start and how this story of mine will help him to avoid the same mistake .
