Graphic recording is a POWERFUL tool for both meetings and coaching.

I’m a graphic recorder and graphic coach. I create visual maps or charts with groups and with individuals so their brains can make connections with the information being presented or discussed.

Use your WHOLE brain.

Do you doodle in meetings or on the phone? Do you draw pictures on napkins when excitedly trying to convey a thought to someone? Or draw pictures in the air with your hands? Roughly 80% of us are visual learners. Some researchers say as high as 87%. And, brain research shows that when we stimulate more than one of our senses at the same time, we absorb more information. We LEARN better and REMEMBER more!

Our senses work together to decipher information. And, according to Dr. John Medina’s book “Brain Rules”, Rule #10 is that “vision trumps all other senses”. Nearly 50% of the brain’s resources are tied to vision. So, whether you think you are a visual, oral or kinesthetic learner, you’re always using 50% of your brain’s resources to visualize what you’re hearing, talking about and doing.

This is why graphic recording supports your individual or organizational outcomes. 

• I use color, words, and drawings to enhance learning and memory. 
• I capture the nuggets of information that will be important for your audience to remember after the meeting has ended. 
• When you hear it and see it unfolding on the charts I create, your retention of that information increases 
• The end result is a memorable meeting, and multiple colorful graphic charts people will share and refer back to.
