2. A key step in a team’s or organization's strategic planning is having a clear
picture of the group’s history. It is key to be able to answer the questions:
How did we get to where we are? What did we learn along the way?
Visual facilitation can assist a team or board to review the agreements
they made and to see the trajectory of their project over time. They can
quickly identify why, what, where and when and what their key learnings
were at every step of the way.
GROUP MEMORY:
PROJECT OR ORGANIZATION HISTORY

4. Taking time to gather the group’s thinking in a day long strategic planning
meeting before moving on to the next activity helps the group reflect on
what they’ve learned and what they want to capture for further
conversation or action.
HARVESTING GROUP WISDOM

6. Teams seek clarity and alignment on the purpose and value of their work
so they can powerfully tell their story to key stakeholders and funders. I
can guide your team through an iterative, visual conversation to get focus
and clarity on the outcomes you want for the important work you do.
VISUAL THOUGHT PARTNER

8. Groups brainstorm next steps in how to move their work forward. Here I
captured the meeting on post it notes and we grouped the notes to create a
future action panel. Graphic displays such as this one help the group create
a memory for the meeting, something they can go back to build on for future
work and action
CAPTURING NEXT STEPS FOR ACTION

10. Participants’ contributions to the panel with their words and images create a
powerful display that fosters the group’s on going ownership of the meeting
outcomes. This panel now hangs in the organization’s main conference room
as a living reminder of the commitments made at the end of a strategic
retreat.

CLOSURE

12. Digital media works for graphically recording a virtual meeting or a
keynote at a conference where the participants don’t need to see what
I’m recording in the moment. They benefit from the graphic image as a
reminder of the essence of the speaker’s message.

15. A digital media platform works well to capture the essence of a coaching
session with a client or to render a concept in a visual way. Rather than
getting typed notes from sessions, my clients receive a digital image they can
refer to as a reminder of what they took away from the session and want to
integrate into next steps.
VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF
CONCEPTS

16. To honor my clients’ confidentiality, I am not sharing any of their images. Here is an image I created for myself after a
coaching session with my long time coach and colleague. It helps me to remember how to get back to what’s really
important to me: listening to my inner knowing and wisdom and taking five minutes every now and then to do so!

17. A blog post of colleague, Erica Mills of Claxon Marketing, inspired this graphic that captures the main points
and flow of her article. This helped her to communicate her thinking in a visual manner.
