STORYTELLING

Paula Collins

1. Change and selection

Storytelling enables me to develop a deeper connection with the audience. I work with teachers  and I prepare  them in their permanente teacher’s training. I consider that storytelling is a  fundamental human experience that unites people and drives stronger, deeper connections. I  spend my time finding ways to inspire teachers. Sometimes they don’t want to participate in  courses because they have a lot things to do and they don´t earn enough money to participate  in courses but I use this strategy to motivate them to study as an inversion. I share stories of my  life in order to help them visualize how we can get success and get more incomes. I through my  story they connect and I can realize what are their needs for training. With this information I can  design courses according to their learning needs.

2. Application

I have a story about using storytelling. When I have to motivate teachers to participate in  teacher’s training courses I tell my story. I was a professor for 15 years at a university. I was a  teacher very recognized by my students. But one day I decided to study for a master's and  doctorate. There I met very successful professionals who presented their experience and work  throughout the country and the world. I lived in a small town and had never traveled to teach  at other institutions. One day, a friend invited me to give a conference with teachers. She invited  me to give a topic for an hour to 500 teachers and although I had never done it when I finished,  everyone applauded and the director of an institution of the capital of the country spoke to me  to prepare directors and teachers in the capital of the country.

In that moment, I realized the great impact that my presentation had caused. I went back to my  university and started looking for specialized courses in my profession..

3. Insight and approach

When I took these courses I met professionals from all the cities of the country and they invited  me to other events. At that moment, I realized that my best investment was to participate in  specialized courses of my career. Now I am a great recognized speaker in all of my country.

At first I thought that the time and money I invested would have no return, but it was the  opposite. Then I had to quit my job at the university and I am currently working giving lectures  and training teachers in my consulting company. I have my own schedule and it allows me to  give work to other teachers.

This story allows me to motivate other professionals to take the courses and to receive my  advice and then I invite them to participate as speakers in the congresses or consultancy that I  am in charge of.

This course help me a lot  to improve my job.
