Chennai Storytelling Festival 2019, at Loyola College Thurs 7 Feb 2019, for College Students -- 1:30pm-4pm. "Storytelling
for Personal and Professional Success": Storytelling for Job Interviews, Project Reports, Making
Good Impressions, etc. Possible Activies include: Storytelling to prepare for Job Interviews: In groups of 2 (with the person sitting next to you), take
turns telling: 1) The story of Your Life (a 10-minute version),
focussing on how you discovered and have developed your unique interests,
talents, and skills. 2) The story of the Industry in which you would
like to work. 3) The story of the Company for which you would
like to work. 4) The story of what you feel you could contribute
to your chosen industry and company. You
might imagine and describe a particular project you would like to help do. (from Eric) *** Using Storytelling to communicate Project Reports: Compose an "Elevator Story," and tell it to the
person sitting next to you. An
Elevator Story (named such by Steve Jobs) is a very brief type of Project
Report. An Elevator Story is a story a
designer (or engineer, etc) tells to his/her manager about a product (or
service) the designer is developing -- about both the product's mechanical
function, and its potential meaning and value in the consumer's life -- all
in the time it takes for an elevator (or "lift") to go from the
ground floor to the upper floor on which the manager's office is located. (from Eric) *** Using Storytelling to Make
Good Impressions: *** Please add to this list by sending suggestions to
