Hello friends,
Welcome to our third Visibly Brilliant Quarterly (VBQ), the multi-media newsletter that gives you visual tools that help you make an impact on whichever room you’re at the front of.
‘Sketch-Fu’! I began practicing a style of Kung Fu a couple of years ago. If you’ve never seen a 40-something mom kicking trees in the park, well then you haven’t lived. But my point here is that I was struck by how similar it was to learning how to sketch and diagram — the cornerstones of my graphic facilitation career.
Simple movements, repeated hundreds of times, go from feeling awkward and strange to second nature, flowing out of you in response to whatever is happening. This idea of how simple principles can build into an entire language is at the core of what I teach people about using visual tools — line, color, text, shapes — at work.
The video here is a short excerpt from my Whiteboard Black Belt workshop where I walk you through the 3 easy steps to diagramming an idea. This is a technique for anyone, not just artists!
I teach leaders, trainers, consultants — anyone at the “front of the room” — not just how to avoid “death by PowerPoint” but how to keep their audiences focused, learning and inspired, based on how our brains actually work. Watch the full workshop here
