Final Submission

1. Challenge:

I am a good listener. One of my friend got demotivated by his recent test results. So I took it as  a challenge that I will make him take that test again and with the better score. He has the  potential to do but was a bit distracted when he gave the test the first time. So the challenge I  had was to make him take the test again and help him to get better scores.

2. Selection:

There are two tools which can be used here that are: Visualization and Storytelling. Both are  compelling to the situation here. The tool I am going to use is Visualization. I have practiced  visualization for maximizing my performance over the years and I exactly know how it works  and what are the trade-offs. As described in week -1 of the course.

3. Application:

I called my friend and we sat in my garden and chatted for 30min. about how everything is  going on after the test. I told him to mention only the positive things that he had felt and to my  astonishment he listed them much more than I had expected. Then I asked him about the test  about which he was the most depressed one. I could see that transition from a happy face to  frown one. I told him to close the eyes and sit and relax on the chair. I told him to just visualize  what he actually wanted. He told about the score and I told him not to do that. I told him to  think deeper to make your brain feel more about the situation you also describe the  surrounding. Visualization works perfectly well when you make your brain realize that it is  actually happening. So I told him to visualize the following

  Surrounding when he gets those desired marks ,

  Make yourself see studying hard for that ( as only thinking about marks won’t get you  there you have to study only then it works.)

  Cultivate a feeling in you that you can achieve that feat again even though you think  you have lost it.

What we saw here is completely different visualization then the one taught to us. The problem  here is such that with white boards it cannot be done. Certain things can be made on it but  mostly it happens in mind and that’s visualization.

4. Insight:

I learned from this that people are all about the thinking mentally and not doing it. When you  experience the joy of seeing something you visualized then it will be what makes you full of  yourself. I saw a deep fighting going on in my friend as for a day or two I would ask him about  what you actually did and the response would be extremely satisfying but sometime he would  get lost and couldn’t complete the process. Visualization sometimes back fires if you exactly  don’t know what you are going to tell people to visualize. He had a problem early waking up for  the studies but I couldn’t help as I am not that kind of guy and couldn’t help him visualize that.

5. Approach:

The other tool that I might have used is the one I mentioned earlier. Storytelling. Because here  you can tell people story about something or someone by mixing some qualities of different  people or things. E.g. I can make a character of a person who wakes up early does what my  friend need to do to get there and achieves the goal. In visualization a drawback is such that the  things I have not experienced I cannot exactly tell him how they are but only the way I can  think of those things. So I think storytelling would be an-another approach.
