Module 2 – Storytelling

Challenge:-  Storytelling(ST) requires a concrete structure or flow of thoughts prior to actually being able  to  speak. Now, in my case, in the past a lot of ST had been impromptu and so I had to wing it.  Naturally this didn’t give me the best results and perpetually gave me this drive to keep on  getting better. In order to master this art, the greatest challenge that I faced were opportunities to  practice and gain the confidence of being able to have a smooth flow of thoughts.

Selection:- (Week 2, Video 4)  Understanding your audience & going over each detail chronologically were the key elements  discussed in the video. This selection took was the one that I roughly applied back when I  wanted to start getting exposure.

Application:-  Understanding your audience & going chronologically help in gauging the audience’s attention  and made my life a bit easy. Apart from the data that I used to present in my presentations, I  made an effort to also use ST to make my explanations more detailed and clearer.

Insight:-  I could instantly feel that my command over language and delivery had improved. More than  that, I was keeping my audience on their toes. This from a presenter’s point of view is the best  possible thing. At the end of the presentation, the Q&A session had more constructive questions  and I knew which questions were relevant and which weren’t.

Approach:-  I believe that there is another way of ST and that the current level of attention that I’m gaining  from my audience can be swiftly grown just by asking questions in between the presentations.  This will make me aware whether I’m boring them or dragging. In any manner, I will get a  feedback in between the presentation, and that is amazing.
