Storytelling

Challenge: Story telling lets people feel more protected and gives  them a sense of feeling of strength .I manage a cafe  which serves people pan Asian food ,one thing about  restaurants is that we have to keep restructuring it  according to the changes in the society and peoples  likes if not we would be under a loss and would have  to shut down .The problem we faced was that our  cafe began looking less attractive our dishes tasted  pretty ﬁne but our presentation was not up to the  mark and we had the same menu from the past few  years.Our customers were mostly middle-aged and  youngsters were not attracted to our restaurant we  wanted more focus on youngsters which would  increase the market for our cafe.

Selection:  The tool I selected to improve my Cafe was  storytelling .Most of our employees were glued to a  very routine type of working where they felt very  demotivated and bored .I wanted them to explore the  creativity in their ﬁeld which would help our cafe  hence I called for an interactive session to explain  why our cafe was falling apart . I felt storytelling  would be apt and it would motivate the employees  and chefs to work better and hence I chose a very  deep story. Storytelling is a way of sharing

experiences or stories or incidents which would bring  a positive a positive change in the minds of the  employees and the chefs and also lets the other  people interact and release their personal emotions  and feelings .Storytelling helps people to get a close  connect and brings the problems people are facing to  the spotlight and what people need .Storytelling helps  us realise what the actual problem is and how we  would improve it it also helps us view things from the  mind of another person.Storytelling also gives us the  chance to see things from another person’s point of  view and what he feels.

Application: I conducted an interactive session and narrated an  emotional story about the growth of a restaurant in  London from its downfall.I told them that the real  owners of the cafe were the employees and the chefs  and it was not the people who invested .The only  reason the cafe stood still and strong was merely  their hard work and how important their presence  was and we had a very interactive session where  employees spoke about what majorly aﬀected them  and why they were not able to give the best ,I also let  people talk about what was aﬀecting them for  example : a personal problem and what was stopping  them from being creative.

Insight&Approach: It was unbelievable how creative everyone were, there  was so much talent hid in each of them which was  exposed through the story telling .Most of the chefs  and workers were young and alone they felt they were  working for someone else and it wasn’t their own  restaurant to give their best eﬀorts . Infact two of our  employees had lost their families in a ﬂood. I  interacted and motivated them to give their best and  that it would help them and our cafe to grow  better .The passion in them was still alive design  thinking helps me see things from through  others.People got to know each other better through  the storytelling tool there was too much agony hid  which was healed a bit through storytelling as they  had a better relationship with their coworkers which  in return helped the cafe and let them put their best  hand forward.

Organisation: I narrated the story of the two people who lost their  families during the ﬂood which brought a very sense  of emotion in everyone’s hearts where all the  employees started interacting better they started  talking to each other also the story of the growth of  the restaurant in London brought a positive change in  a cafe and it within a week we could implement a  new system with new menus new interiors and new  dishes were on the table .Storytelling is such a

powerful tool where it let people bring out the hidden  talents in them it also let me realise how other people  were facing problems which nobody realised and how  one persons problem can bring a huge impact in the  entire restaurant.
