Blog - Outside the lines
http://outsidethelines.ca/blog
April 10th, 2016. No one has ever complained to me when that happens, but still I worry. So would I like to have been able to finish the chart at the end of the day? Of course I would! I still want to be superwoman, dazzling my clients with my speed as well as my virtuosity. But all I can be is me and I’m glad that yesterday that was enough. March 31st, 2016. But still something creative and satisfying, and I’ll dare to call it art. Something new for you! March 09th, 2016. March 04th, 2015. That would be...

What I do - Outside the lines
http://outsidethelines.ca/what-i-do
When I say I draw out. Your best thinking, I mean exactly that. I help people see what they’re saying. By translating their thoughts into images, connecting individual ideas into larger themes and patterns, and bringing the Big Picture to light literally and figuratively. This often shows up as graphic recording. Using images to stimulate fresh thinking about core concepts. Designing collaborative visual workspaces and process. Developing visual workbooks for ongoing reflection and engagement. Since 2006...

Paved with good intentions... - Outside the lines
http://outsidethelines.ca/paved-good-intentions
Paved with good intentions…. March 04th, 2015. That would be “the road to hell”. The one that’s paved with good intentions, according to the proverb. Ahem. I started this blog with the very best of intentions, something over a year and a half ago. I was going to post regularly. OK, at least once a month. By my blogging standards, that’s regular. I made a list of topics I was going to share my thoughts about. They were interesting! Some of them even related to my work! Something new for you!

Graphic Recording - Outside the lines
http://outsidethelines.ca/what-i-do/graphic-recording
You want your meeting or conference to have a huge impact to be fuelling inspiration for months afterward. For that to happen, the ideas shared from presenters, in breakout sessions and in small groups need to take root in the participants’ hearts and minds. All the research shows that people retain information better and longer when it’s conveyed through words and. What you’re saying by mapping your conversation visually. Give Your Attendees an Aha! My greatest joy comes in those moments when the people...

Visual Facilitation - Outside the lines
http://outsidethelines.ca/what-i-do/visual-facilitation
Active listening in visual form. Any event that convenes a conversation whether it’s a strategic planning session, a community engagement process, a workshop, or a dialogue between stakeholders is only as successful as the quality of the listening. My visual facilitation work builds on a foundation of deep listening, drawing out participants’ thinking in ways that ensure everyone feels heard,. And using visual metaphors to help people clarify their thinking. And create shared meaning. When we were doing ...

Custom Graphics - Outside the lines
http://outsidethelines.ca/what-i-do/custom-graphics
Ever quizzed your team on who can recall the organization’s mission statement? Or tried to shoehorn a new project workflow into a PowerPoint presentation then prayed your colleagues would actually use it? We all know that a paragraph of text is tough to memorize, and a plain old boxes-and-arrows diagram can suck the life out of the most dynamic human processes. Even the most innovative and engaging ideas get lost without reinforcement. From vision statements that inspire to flowcharts that really.

Workshops - Outside the lines
http://outsidethelines.ca/what-i-do/workshops
I’m no longer offering my public workshop, “The Artful Visual Facilitator”. It was a great run but it’s run its course, and it’s time to think about where I want to go next with my training. But I’m still open to creating customized workshops for groups and organizations that see value in adding visual thinking skills to their palette. If your group wants to learn how to up your game by adding visuals to your charts and learning other visual facilitation techniques, give me a shout! What will you learn?
