STORYTELLING

I love using storytelling whenever I do a speaking engagement or produce content. I work with college  students, high school students, and professionals. Most of these people I come across want  opportunities and a way to be heard, create a community of like-minded people. They feel their stories  are irrelevant and no one would lean a listening ear. I'm always at the forefront of breaking down  storytelling to them.

I always preach that storytelling goes a long way to attract like-minded people who have had a similar  experience and can resonate with the story. Through storytelling, they can be able to not only inspire  other people who are climbing up the ladder but also they turn to spread that positivity that once they  were able to achieve anything, the people looking up to them can also reach that height.

I use storytelling to get students and professionals out of their comfort zone to share what they love and  what has been a pillar in their development. After making them share their stories, I create a space  where they can connect their stories to each other and start interacting and knowing more about the  other person.

APPLICATION

I love storytelling so much that everywhere I go I use it. I did a speaking engagement with a school about  how to leverage social media to build a personal brand. I started by breaking down the power of having  a personal brand and how they can leverage it to do anything. Also, I dived into how they could build  their personal brand. For most of them, they thought going to school and getting a degree is the only  way of securing a job but after breaking down how they can leverage their personal brand through  storytelling they were amazed.

I proceeded to share a story to give them an in-depth knowledge of how I built my personal brand. I  always love talking and sharing my experience and knowledge to the people around me. When I came to  the States I was pursuing a degree in Computer science but I wanted to do more than just study and get  a degree. I start creating content on social media sharing my knowledge on what I know and my  experience as an international student. A lot of recruiters started noticing my content and started  messaging me with me internship opportunities offers and speaking gigs.

INSIGHT AND APPROACH

After I shared my story, a lot of the students realized they had something they could share or talk about.  I divided the audience into groups so they could come up with topics they could talk about after the  event. Most of the students were excited to do this brainstorming, some also opened up and shared  how sharing their story to random people had gotten them opportunities they didn’t think of getting.

After the event, I realized that if I hadn't share my story of how I built my personal brand they wouldn’t  have grasped what I was preaching. Through storytelling, my message had an impact on my audience.  This course has broadened my perspective on storytelling so much that I plan to alway try and come  with stories whenever I have a speaking engagement .
