Uriel Romero’s Reflection - Storytelling

Challenge & Selection  Besides my career path as a business analyst, I’ve taken my time to be an aspiring entrepreneur  focusing on food business. My challenge is to actually encourage healthy eating and promote  health awareness among the populace within my provincial hometown during the current  pandemic and even when things return to a new normal while also increasing sales for both the  physical and online transactions. I firmly believe that a healthy diet has a major impact on both  our physical and mental health especially during this lockdown in our area. I also research that  having a good diet also plays an important role in helping avoid and manage depression  alongside other illnesses which have all increase at a drastic rate due to lockdown. I also found  that not all of the people within my hometown are literate so I’ve adapted new methods to  approach them. One of those methods is by explaining how a healthy diet can affect their lives  for the long term in the local dialect via the online website where they purchase the food from.    Application & Insight    Grateful for having a business analyst career, it requires me to be a good storyteller between  the clients and the developers. I remember how important it is to listen to people with  empathy since most of the projects I’ve done are focus on reengineering their traditional roles  to a more digital approach such as automation of tasks. However, for the food business I have  to apply the same empathy for I treat each of my customers as human beings deserving of  healthy lifestyle. When customers are treated with care, they in turn spread the same empathy  to others creating a cycle of healthy promotion in their circle of connections from peers to  family. I have a few family members that have an unhealthy lifestyle of fast-food consumption  so I could tell that it doesn’t get better without a change to their diets. But by storytelling I was  able to convince them that if they want longer lives and healthier feel throughout, they must  change their eating habits. With that in mind, I also want to use storytelling for fulfilling my  advocacy of healthy diets in my hometown.

Approach    When I told a story of how healthy diet truly has a major impact on our lives to my family  members, I set an example to them of the journey of once an obese person with dedication and  will to be healthier disregarded his old habit of consuming too much junk food and the good  consequences that came after his right decision. It made them feel connected to the person,  the problems they might face during the swap to a new diet and the wonderful things that will  happen to both their physical and mental well-being. Now thanks to the various platforms for

my food business whether online or physical I made sure that the advocacy of healthy diet is  promoted. Thanks to this course, I learned how storytelling is one of the most important tools  to have in life whether in career, business or relationships.
